Bangkok, Thailand, May 3, 2024 / TRAVELINDEX / Inspirador Indian Spirits presented itself today at a small meeting with the brand owner, Mr. Solomon Diniz, and the Heritage Feni “TINTO”. The event took place at NILA Bangkok in the Amari Bangkok Hotel.

Heritage Feni “TINTO” brings the taste of Goa to Bangkok, and the exclusive event offered a unique opportunity to experience Feni’s rich heritage and unique flavors directly from the source.

The Goan custom of distilling the spirit known as Feni from cashew fruits dates back to the 16th century, when Portuguese colonists first brought cashew trees from Brazil to the Indian coastal state.

Tinto was launched on January 25, 2020. The brand was founded by Mr. Solomon Diniz, a fourth-generation member of the Feni family. "Tinto" means marketplace in Portuguese. The unique brand name references the company's past Portuguese heritage. The bottle's shape and the harmonious motif of the Goan cashew tree against the breathtaking backdrop of Goa are perfectly showcased in the beautifully designed ceramic bottle.

What distinguishes this brand is the fact that Feni is distilled using the traditional clay pot method. Only discarded cashew apples are used for fermentation, which are then distilled three times. The distillery is located in Cotombi, Quepem, Goa.

During the event, guests had the opportunity to talk to Mr. Solomon Diniz and learn more about the history, production process and cultural significance of Feni.
