Origin Information

The story of the producer Gil Cesar de Melo in the coffee industry began with his grandfather, Sr Miguel Constante, who was a coffee grower in Campos Altos township. His grandfather passed this inheritance to Gil Cesar’s mother, Elizena, who later transmitted the same passion to her son, who did not think twice before deciding to take part in this enjoyable field.

In 1995, Gil planted his first six coffee hectares and, since then, he has expanded the areas, always seeking to invest in quality. Espigao do Palmital farm is located in the municipality of Pratinha, in the state of Minas Gerais. His properties have a privileged location in the Cerrado Mineiro region, which allows them to enjoy a perfect balance of the climate seasons with a hot and humid summer and a mild and dry winter, something that greatly favors the quality of the coffee.

The farm has an ideal terroir with mountainous terrain, high altitudes and a good rainfall index, favoring the cultivation of specialty green coffee beans with supreme aromas and flavors. They are a reference and inspiration for new coffee standards and for the profile of customers who demand high quality and ethics around the world.

 Gil values and respects every forest area around his farms and encourages his employees to also preserve and take care of the environment. The coffees produced on Espigão Farm undertake a rigorous process of quality, from the initial stages of the production in the crops, through the processing, until the preparation of the lots in the post-harvest. All this care would only result in a very high quality coffee.

Gil Cesar has at its roots the DNA of the coffee culture. He has great memories of his childhood when he used to spend weekends and vacations with his grandfather on the farm. When he was six years old, he loved to be in the coffee fields. At that time technology wasn’t like it is today and the coffee was transported by ox-carts.

Today, they are in the fourth generation that has inherited the same passion for coffee, and his children Edu and Hugo are coming with a different view for new things, contributing with knowledge and innovation.
