Bálsamo is a Brazilian wood traditionally used in the storage of cachaça in the northern region of Minas Gerais. Its use dates back to the origins of cachaça production, offering a unique and authentic identity to the drink.
Aroma:
Notes of fresh herbs, eucalyptus, anise and a balsamic touch that refers to forest and natural environments.
Flavor:
On the palate, the influence of the Balsam is striking and characteristic. The cachaça acquires a refreshing flavor with notes that refer to anise, with herbaceous nuances and a hint of pleasant bitterness. This flavor profile makes it unique, unlike cachaças aged in sweeter woods.
Pairing:
Due to its distinct profile, cachaça aged in Bálsamo harmonizes well with dishes of Brazilian cuisine, such as stewed meats, feijoada and herbal dishes. It also goes well with more cured and oiled cheeses. In more casual contexts, it can be enjoyed with snacks such as olives and sausages. Due to its refreshing nature, it is also an excellent choice to be enjoyed neat on warmer days.
Ingredients:
Fermented must of cana-de-açúcar broth.
