The Caatinga is the only biome exclusively Brazilian. It occupies about 11% of the national territory and 70% of the Northeast region. It is our star biome because, in addition to being unique, we see it as an opportunity to develop organic products.

And this is where our Caatinga honey product line comes from. Produced in this exclusive and rich biome, it can be used to strengthen the immune system and improve digestive capacity, in addition to being a natural source of energy. In gastronomy, its use is abundant to sweeten foods naturally.
