The idea of starting the record company Biscoito Fino began with the project, ComPasso Samba & Choro, developed by Olivia Hime, at the invitation of Kati Almeida Braga, in the Paço Imperial in Rio de Janeiro. Enthusiastic about that series of presentations, with musicians the caliber of Guinga, Cristina Buarque, Yamandu Costa, Miúcha, Francis Hime, Zezé Gonzaga and many others, Olivia and Kati decided to record the CDs of the shows. Their enthusiasm grew beyond just the CDs and the team aimed for an independent record company, proudly unconcerned about market tendencies. At first, Biscoito Fino edited songs by old and new composers, recorded and distributed CDs. Today, with its own studio and equipment available to musicians, Biscoito doesn´t want, to paraphrase Noel Rosa, smother anyone, but only to show that it also makes the best Brazilian popular music.

Since the writer Oswald de Andrade coined the expression “biscoito fino (fine cookie),” it has become synonymous with something selected, of high quality. Responding to comments that he was not understood by the man of the street, Oswald quipped, “the masses will some day eat the fine cookie that I produce” - a prophecy remembered 60 years later by another poet and writer, Geraldinho Carneiro, who, upon discovering that Kati and Olivia intended to set up a record company made up of the highest level of Brazilian music, exclaimed: “But what you are going to do is make a biscoito fino.” The name was baptized.

    É complicado quando a própria gravadora sobe a capa do disco errada... Colocaram no "Pelo Sabor do Gesto", da Zélia Duncan, a capa do "Pelo Sabor do Gesto - Em Cena"...

    Olá, vocês recentemente adicionaram o cd "Outros Clássicos" do Beto Guedes. Há dois problemas com ele, primeiro, no título não consta o acento do 'a' em 'clássicos' e, segundo, todas as faixas estão em letras maiúsculas. Penso que seria interessante se vocês pudessem, por favor, consertar esses pequenos erros.
