About the farm

Casa Almeida Barreto is a family-run business specializing in the production of premium specialty coffee and wine from Brazil. The farm relies on an impressive team with extensive experience and training in agronomy, oenology and fermentation techniques, logistics and international trade, economics, and big data to offer its customers, like us, a delicious and rewarding experience.

With a scientific and artisanal approach to production, Casa Almeida Barreto continuously researches their terroirs and develops methods that better express each variety and achieve outstanding results in their beverages. As farmers, they believe they can best contribute by respecting the characteristics of each genetic material and the specific climate and soil conditions of their terroirs, consciously making minimal interventions that preserve the purity of the aromas and the uniqueness of their coffee.

At the same time, Casa Almeida Barreto aims to give back to the local community by providing excellent working conditions, income, and benefits while employing sustainable practices. As producers of both coffee and wine, they apply the same principles to both delicacies: they view them as refined, locally sourced products that require cutting-edge knowledge and constant attention to develop the best in terms of aroma, mouthfeel, and ultimately, enjoyment.

Casa Almeida Barreto practices true direct trade by exporting their coffee themselves. They believe this makes them a better partner for us European roasters.
