Casasa is a Brazilian strong distilled alcoholic beverage. It is just as popular as Brazilian football, samba and carnivals. Most people of other nationalities would compare the drink to rum.
The porridge is made from sugar cane. It is usually stored in large wooden barrels. The drink is divided into two varieties - white and dark (golden) Kashasa. White is bottled immediately after distillation and tends to be cheaper to sell. It is used mainly in making cocktails.
The dark Kashasa is considered a higher class. It has matured much longer (minimum 3 years) in wooden barrels and is drunk clean. The main difference between cashews and rum is that rum is usually made from molasses, a by-product of refineries from which sugar cane juice is boiled to extract the most sugar in crystals.
The most popular Brazilian drink is made from fresh sugar cane juice, which is fermented and distilled. It is estimated that Brazilians consume close to 350 million gallons of Kashasa per year - about two liters per person. There are about 30,000 small producers along with a handful of large producers of cashews in Brazil.
Because the distillation process is relatively easy compared to other liquids, and because sugar cane is so widespread in Brazil, the business can be developed by anyone. Apart from Brazil as the main consumer of kashas, Paraguay is the largest importer of kashas.
This is not surprising, as Brazil and Paraguay are among the four member states that make up Mercosur. One of Mercosur's main objectives is to remove all tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade within Member States, which includes barriers to trade in beverages. Therefore, Paraguay is able to buy cashews at a lower cost.
However, Germany may soon replace Paraguay as a leading importer of cashews.
White Casasa is the main ingredient in the Brazilian national cocktail Caipirinha. To prepare it, you need 50 ml of porridge, 1 green lemon, cut into 4 pieces lengthwise, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
Place the green lemon and sugar in the cup and mix with a wooden spoon, then fill the cup with crushed ice and mashed potatoes. The cocktail is served in a whiskey glass.
