Brazil’s National Cachaça Day is September 13th, 2014

Commonly known as the “Brazilian rum,” Cachaça (Ka-Shah-Suh) is gaining popularity in the U.S. but has always been a staple of tradition at the authentic Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão.

Cachaça is a fine spirit distilled directly from sugarcane, as opposed to rum, which is distilled from molasses. Fogo de Chão Gaucho Chefs are your experts and insiders because many hail from Southern Brazil (particularly the Rio Grande do Sul region), where their families produced homemade cachaça. Fogo de Chão serves its own private label premium cachaça, which is distilled by Weber Haus Distillery located in Ivoti, a municipality in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul.
