AM
The most important biome on the planet, the Amazon is a tropical rainforest that extends through the hydrographic basin of the Amazon River, a vast natural tropical area that spans eight countries. Located in its most part in the Brazilian territory, the Amazon has more than 6.7 million km² of different landscapes and ecosystems essential for the future of the planet. A unique mosaic with incomparable biological richness and, therefore, inestimable world value.
Pantanal
More than 4,700 species of national fauna and flora in a mosaic of ecosystems that cover a part of the Amazon, part of the Cerrado, another part of the Atlantic Forest. This is the Pantanal, located in the heart of South America, known as the largest continental wetland on the planet. Unique in its natural beauty and fundamental to the balance of Brazil's biodiversity, the biome is essential for soil conservation, climate stabilization and the country's water supply.
Cerrado
The second largest vegetation formation in South America covers a quarter of Brazil's land area. A setting of incomparable natural and cultural beauties, the Cerrado is usually recognized as the richest savannah formation on Earth, being a sanctuary for the national fauna and flora.
Caatinga
An exclusively Brazilian biome, the Caatinga occupies an area of 11% of the national territory. Affected by extreme droughts, its flora has developed powerful survival mechanisms, creating an unparalleled biodiversity, giving rise to fruits with unique flavors such as cashew and acerola.
Atlantic Forest
Biome with the most bioversity in the world, the Atlantic Forest extends across 17 Brazilian states and two countries, with a unique variety of forests, reliefs and populations. One of the paradises of fauna and flora on the planet, it is home to more than 15,700 plant species in the world, around 5% of the world's quantity.
PA
With a subtropical climate with well-defined four seasons of the year, the Pampa has a small part of its biome in Brazil, but extends to more than 3 countries. Its vegetation is marked by the presence of grasses and creeping plants in reliefs of large plains, dedicated to pastures and grain and fruit agriculture.
It is from these biomes that we extract the delicious fruits, seeds and nuts that are the trademark of the flavor of our products.
