.
The Pitú name and symbol The name Pitú was chosen by the founders of
the company in honor of the Riacho Pitú, a
stream which irrigates the sugar cane plantations
in the region of Vitória de Santo Antão in the
state of Pernambuco. Pitú is a species of fresh water
shrimp found only in this stream that was served as a snack to
accompany the cachaça at get-togethers on the plantation.
distillation Process Pitú is distilled in a combination of copper pot and copper column stills.
The copper still gives stable quality control and helps preserve the
flavor and texture in the final product. Pitú is then matured in wooden
vats to marry the flavors and allow the taste to gradually unfold.
Tasting notesPitú is crystal clear in color. The taste is pure and fresh with hints
of banana and butterscotch flavors, with fruity and floral aromas
originating from the fresh sugar cane juice.
