History
Passion fruit as well as pineapples, tobacco, beetroots and sweet potatoes - were brought to the Azorean island of São Miguel in the 19th century, to counter the flagging orange crops that had been blighted by a mosquito strain from Brazil. Until then, orange groves had been the mainstay of a thriving economy that led to the building of many stately homes. But the blight, coupled with competition from Spain, wrecked the economy and generated the first waves of emigration, particularly to the U.S.
The passion fruit seeds brought from Brazil was proved to be an inspired choice, for the local soil of volcanic origin, the water supply and the mild climate of São Miguel – particularly at "Ribeira Grande", which concentrates most of the passion fruit cultivation there – and the care and intensive labour employed in its planting and tending offered the perfect conditions for the production of juicy, sweet, high quality produce that soon was being used to make delicious liqueurs.
