Since 1951 the Ferreira da Silva family has strived to create your ultimate rum experience. The luscious lands, relentless sun and the fertile soil of the Cape Verdean Islands make it able to do so.
Therefore, the Ferreira da Silva family invites you to figuratively speaking, ‘Come Over’ and have a Taste of Freedom!
Abrazo,
