Born and raised in the district of Bateia, in Castelo, producer Valdeir Tomazini tells the story of his great-grandfather Thomas Tomazini, who did not produce coffee on the farm due to the cold in the region. Changes in production only began in 2002, when Valdeir's cousin, Cleziomar, started peeling the coffee. Cleuziomar inherited the curious and pioneering spirit of the Tomazini family and was one of the first in the region to invest in coffee with peeled cherries.
Currently, Valdeir takes care of the quality of the plantations with his family, and gets excited when talking about the management and constant improvement of the quality of the harvest and post-harvest.
honey process
In this method, the cherries go through a machine that presses the fruits lightly, removing only the skin, while part of the mucilage still remains around the seeds and they are then left to dry. This mucilage has a tone and viscosity similar to honey, hence the name “honey”.
