Engenhos do Norte, one of the three old mills still active in Madeira, is on the north coast of the island, in the village of Porto da Cruz. Built in 1927 as a result of the merger of some of the approximately fifty sugar mills then existing on the island, it continues to produce agricultural rum from Madeira using the machines of that period, and is the only one in Europe to use steam as a driving force. The brands “Branca”, “Larano” and “970” are the oldest brands from Engenhos do Norte. “Branca” and “970” have won the most awards. “Rum 970”, popular with Madeirans since 1970, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2020. Since 2015, Engenhos do Norte has won 27 medals in international competitions.
