  • What is Brigadeiro?
    BREE-GAH-DAY-RO is a traditional Brazilian style artisanal chocolate with a creamy, rich and indulgent texture. They are made of condensed milk, fresh cream, butter and chocolate. The products are all fresh, the process of making them involves cooking, hand-rolling and are usually molded into small balls covered with chocolate sprinkles and placed in a petit case, one by one.
