  ## Production
  
  The fermentation agent is maize flour (called fubá in Portuguese) and the distillation unit is a copper pot still. The resulting product comes out in 3 batches: "head", "core" and "tail". Sapucaia Cachaça uses only the "core", discarding the other two which have undesirable components.
  
  Sapucaia cachaça is produced in five varieties:
  
  * Sapucaia Florida — 2 years white (silver) and aged (gold)
  * Sapucaia Traditional — 5 years (gold)
  * Sapucaia Family Reserve — 10 years
  * Sapucaia Royal — 18 years
  
  The company has already made exports to the United States, South Africa and France and today maintains part of its sales abroad, to the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Italy, Scotland, England, Austria and Vietnam and recently started operation in the Brazilian city best known for the production of cachaça, Pirassununga.
