About

Elmiro Nascimento transformed Fazenda Santiago from a leading dairy producer into a reference in specialty coffee — a legacy that began in the 1990s.

The quality of Fazenda Santiago is globally recognized: in 2019, it won the ILLY Award for Best Coffee in the Cerrado, Third Best in Brazil, and ranked among the 40 best in the world.

Its commitment to sustainability is absolute, demonstrated by the preservation of protected areas, planting of native species, the use of two photovoltaic plants, and a robust set of international certifications: Rainforest Alliance, UTZ, Starbucks C.A.F.E Practices, and Certifica Minas.
