Cannot  let a Caju feni conversation go by without adding my 2 cents worth.

 WineGlobe in the Bay Area CA  sells  excellent Goan Feni Kazkar for about $25 
and the Premium brand for about $30.


When I was in Brasil for the World Cup with my son, we saw the "Maior Cajueiro 
do Mundo" in Pirangi near Natal. A huge caju tree that has been growing for 
ever it seems-since 1988 and covers a very large area of about 2 acres

Did not find any comparable Feni, but they make a sweet caju liquor Cajuina and 
also Acayu in the State of Piaui.Sometimes they used gelatins to counter the 
astringent flavor of caju juice due to the presence of tannins.

Quite interesting to find out that the Portuguese brought Caju to Goa from 
Brasil.
Borem zaichem!
