The sugarcane honey that adorns the table of islanders, is the culmination of a process that begins with the collection of sugarcane. In the factory, the sugarcanes are inserted in two mills known for engines, of which the juice is extracted, called guarapa. This is then piped to a first filtration, follow the cooking in the clarifiers and then a new filtration which ensures an extreme rigor in the product improvement process.

In the next phase, the guarapa enters the evaporator to continue the process of cooking and evaporation of the water still present. In the final step, a new firing and final filtration prior to the introduction of the syrup in the vacuum boiler. It is then missing the last step, already Sugarcane honey- it is moved to a reservoir where it rests and cools naturally.
