About us
When her youngest son, Marcos, decided to trek the famous Machu Picchu trails in Peru, Mrs. Sônia worried about food and put into practice the recipe for homemade granola she used to make from time to time.
Like every mother who praises herself, Mrs. Sônia is careful and protective. So, she ended up overdoing the quantity and producing no less than 6 pounds of the product.
Since it was a lot of weight, Marcos shared some of the granola among his local friends, who tasted it and approved the product. On the way back from the tour, some of Marcos's friends, especially André and Edson, insisted on asking for Tia Sonia's granola. Marcos replied, "My mother only makes granola from time to time." Until, while in a chat with these friends, André insisted that Marcos would make that for selling. That was the moment when Granola Tia Sônia - that we know today - was created.
Determined to turn it into a commercial product, Marcos borrowed R$40,00 from his own mother to buy the ingredients, asked Mrs Sônia to make her first recipe, which was packed in 200g plastic cups, and he run after the clientele. The first consumers were his closest friends, then the small grocery shops in the area. From there to todays, there is a lot of stories ...
The care with the production, the criterion in the choice of suppliers and the affection of Tia Sônia made the business succeed, leaving the kitchen to a garage and from there to a factory of its own. Today, more than 20 years later, Tia Sônia is a quality brand with more than 80 healthy and natural food products.
