Ypióca was founded in 1843 and is one of the oldest cachaça brands in Brazil. The company prides itself in environmental sustainability – putting emphasis on soil preservation for their sugarcane plantations and turning sugarcane waste into cardboard boxes. Ouro is Portuguese for “gold,” the color of this cachaça after spending 2 years in balsam wood. Like their Prata, the bottle is woven in straw made from Brazilian carnaúba palm.
