Rancho Queimado also finds its way to the table through mineral water. In Rio dos Bugres, Santa Rita offers a glimpse into a part of the municipality connected to the beverage industry and the origins of everyday products.

A story that began in 1999

The company states that Estância Hidromineral Santa Rita de Cássia was founded in 1999 and came under a new ownership partnership in 2005. Its presentation places the operation in the highlands of Greater Florianópolis. These milestones help situate the business within the recent history of production in the municipality.

From spring to bottle

According to the company's account, water travels from the spring to the bottling line through stainless steel pipes. It describes on-site packaging production and ongoing laboratory testing. These details about its industrial operation are supplied by the manufacturer; they do not represent an independent quality assessment by this portal.

Reading the origins

A simple exercise is to look at the labels of products that reach your table: their town of origin, manufacturer, and customer service details connect you to the place behind them. This can reveal businesses that do not feature on sightseeing itineraries but contribute to the local economy. In Rancho, beverage production is one such connection.

Sales inquiries and visits are different things

The listed address is BR-282, km 53.5, in Rio dos Bugres. The channels consulted introduce the company and its products without advertising regular tourist visits. For purchasing or distribution information, use the sales contact in the listing. Any access to the facility must be arranged in advance with those responsible.
