The value of Madeira Rum is due to the quality of the raw material, the commitment and experience of the producers and also to the certification process that accompanies its production.
All producers must be registered with IVBAM and, before being placed on the market, Madeira Rum is subject to a certification process. The aim is to ensure compliance with the legally defined specifications, to guarantee a high standard of product quality and to safeguard its genuineness and authenticity. The controls carried out by IVBAM cover all stages, from sugar cane to the final bottled product, ready to be sold, and the production conditions and the characteristics of the product are rigorously analysed.
