Organic Alcohol, Community Produced, Fair Trade Prices

Our organic, community-produced alcohol is unique in the world at the moment.  The alcohol has internationally-recognised certification from BCS Öko-Garantie of Germany.  Our aguardiente (alcohol of 60GL) is produced by hand through cooperative working by the organic sugar cane farmers of CADO (Consorcio Agro-artesanal Dulce Orgánico, in Spanish, or Sweet Organic Agro-craft Consortium), a socially-responsible organisation.  Then it is rectified to produce alcohol (ethanol) of high purity.

CADO´s organic ethanol is of high quality, appropriate for the most exacting industrial processes or for perfumery.  The organic, healthy sugar cane provides top quality aguardiente and we use the services of a high technology rectification plant to ensure that this is rectified under strict quality control.  We use gas chromatography analysis and can equal the quality specifications of your existing alcohol.

We offer on fair trade terms:
Organic alcohol of 96 GL or organic ethanol of 99.9 GL for use in extraction of compounds.
Potable organic alcohol for use in the liquor industry.
Organic alcohol DEB96 for use in perfumery or industrial processes.

For the first time, it is now possible to buy high-quality alcohol which has been produced in an environmentally and socially responsible way.

Our organic alcohol comes from over 100 families in an area of extreme poverty in Ecuador.  Your decision to buy will help these families to improve their quality of life as they continue to care for the environment and maintain the organic farming tradition of previous generations.
