Brand Origin
The company’s founder, Simohara family, was a traditional farm producer from the region and supplied their products - more specifically, strawberries - to neighboring cities and for the capital (São Paulo). Of Japanese origin, they joined the names of their children, Ricardo and Elizabete, and used the strawberry fruit silhouette to represent the "Ricaeli" brand, true expression of their love and dedication to the endeavor.
