The Company

To all of us here at Santa Helena, time is a friend, an ally that improves our knowledge and makes our products increasingly delicious and irresistible.

From Ribeirão Preto to the world, we are the largest industrial company producing peanut-based products in Brazil.

Since 1942 we have provided joy and flavor through quality products, always working to maintain the great origins of all the raw materials we use. The result? Whenever anyone thinks of peanut sweets, they think of Paçoquita, much like when you think of Japanese-style peanuts, Mendorato comes to mind. These products have grown to represent the category, with national and international recognition that reflects our rigorous quality control and our desire to surprise our clients and consumers every single day!
