About Giallo Ouro Brasil
Giallo Ouro Brasil belongs to the yellow granites that do not appear pastel or soft, but warm, mineral and clearly figured. The play of colour moves between golden yellow, honey, beige and individual darker mineral inclusions. This produces a friendly but not dull surface that works well in classic kitchens as well as in generous entrance areas and on stairs. Compared with calmer yellow granites such as Giallo Veneziano, Giallo Ouro Brasil appears somewhat livelier and more rustic, without becoming restless.
The stone comes from Brazil and belongs to the large family of Brazilian granites, which are in strong international demand for their depth of colour and everyday suitability. Yellow granites from Espírito Santo and the Cachoeiro de Itapemirim area in particular are frequently used for interior fit-out, window sills, façades and made-to-measure kitchen tops. The decisive factor here is the combination of warm colour and robust rock structure. Anyone who values the visual warmth of marble but is looking for a considerably lower-maintenance, less acid-sensitive solution for everyday use will find a hard-wearing alternative in this material.
Technically, Giallo Ouro Brasil is clearly at home in the hard stone range. Bulk density is 2,643 kg/m³, compressive strength 115.62 MPa and flexural strength 10.4 MPa. Values like these suit heavily used floors, stairs, window sills and kitchen worktops. Outdoors, too, the material is in principle well usable if build-up, drainage and appropriate surfaces are taken into account. For kitchens, acid resistance in particular is an advantage over limestone or classic marble.
Surfaces change the character considerably. The surface finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down. At ROSSITTIS, Giallo Ouro Brasil is available as a raw slab, in tiles, as tread and riser, window sill, skirting and as a kitchen worktop.
The honest assessment: Giallo Ouro Brasil is not a restrained design stone for extremely minimalist projects. Its strength lies in warmth, substance and robust everyday suitability. Anyone looking for a completely homogeneous yellow surface is in the wrong place here. Anyone looking for a golden-yellow granite with honest natural stone figuring and a broad range of use, on the other hand, is very much in the right place.

Technical data
Guide values for the stone type, taken from manufacturer and test reports. Natural stone is a natural product — individual batches and slabs can differ. For critical applications, request slab-specific test data.
Giallo Ouro Brasil is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.
Poliert
Politur ist die klassischste Veredelung im Hartgesteinsegment — eine spiegelglatte, hochglänzende Oberfläche mit höchstmöglicher Farbintensität und maximaler Tiefenwirkung der Mineralstruktur. Als säurebeständiges Silikatgestein ist polierter Granit pflegeleicht und für Küchenarbeitsplatten, Wandverkleidungen und repräsentative Sichtflächen erste Wahl.
Care & fabrication
Giallo Ouro Brasil should be sealed after installation on worktops, floors and window sills, even though granite is fundamentally hard-wearing. A good silane-based sealer reduces the penetration of grease, oil and strongly coloured liquids.
For cleaning and care, water, a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth are sufficient. In the kitchen in particular, wine, coffee, oil and strongly staining foods should nevertheless be removed promptly so that no residues dry on the surface.
Avoid strongly acidic deep cleaners, wax-based care layers and abrasive scouring agents. Even hard granite is easier to clean and care for over time if the surface is not burdened with unnecessarily aggressive chemicals.
Outdoors the rule is: clean and care for the surface regularly, remove accumulations of leaves and dirt, and renew the sealer at sensible intervals depending on use. On flamed surfaces, dirt should be loosened early so that the structure does not clog up.
Frequently asked questions
Is Giallo Ouro Brasil suitable for the kitchen?
Yes. As a granite with a bulk density of 2,643 kg/m³, compressive strength of 115.62 MPa and flexural strength of 10.4 MPa, Giallo Ouro Brasil is very well suited to kitchen worktops, islands and counters.
Which surfaces are available for Giallo Ouro Brasil?
The surface finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block on this page.
Where does Giallo Ouro Brasil come from?
The stone comes from Brazil and belongs to the group of Brazilian yellow granites, which are in strong demand above all for kitchens, window sills, stairs and façades.
How do I clean Giallo Ouro Brasil correctly?
pH-neutral natural stone cleaners, water and soft cloths are sufficient for cleaning and care. Grease, coffee, wine or oil should not be left standing on the surface for long in the kitchen.
Is Giallo Ouro Brasil frost-resistant?
As a dense hard stone, Giallo Ouro Brasil is well suited to many external applications. The decisive factors are a suitable surface, proper build-up and clean drainage.
Giallo Ouro Brasil or Giallo Veneziano?
Giallo Ouro Brasil usually appears somewhat livelier and more stone-like, while Giallo Veneziano is often read as more even and more classic. Technically both lie in the robust granite segment.
