I had an amazing opportunity along with my family to try samples of truffle which are orginial call Brigadeiro(Bree-gah-day-row). Brigadeiro are chocolate truffle from Brazil created in the 1940s. Now they are here in Houston and the surrounding areas thanks to the wonderful owner named Livia Salinas. Here is a little about Livia Salinas(from her website):
My name is Livia Orlandin Salinas, a wife, a mother and a brigadeiro fanatic. Like most Southern born Brazilians, my family is Italian and that means growing up around food, attending weekly family gatherings and big Sunday lunches filled with plenty of desserts. I learned how to make brigadeiros with my dear grandmother, who used to make them for all family parties and I would help her by scraping the pans and eating the leftovers! With a background in hospitality and tourism, lived in Europe and became a foodie and fell in love with sharing my recipes of brigadeiros with my friends from different parts of the world and always hearing how they were delicious and addictive. After moving to the US in 2006, married my high school sweetheart and worked at large hotel chains, our son Lucca was welcomed in 2013. Wanting him to grow up around my culture and keeping our passion for food, I decided to develop a gourmet line of my biggest passion, brigadeiros.
Like many she had dream and she is making it happen. Slowly but surely Brigadeiros are becoming a name for any occasion you can name of.
Like I stated in the beginning I along with my family got the opportunity to samples these wonderful Brigadeiros. These are our honest opinions.
Let's start off by showing you what they are, and what each flavor were and than tell you if we enjoyed them or not (yes I will keep you waiting).
First her product is very welcoming especially how they are box and there is label to know which each flavor was. Also there was a new flavor Black Forest which she has not advistise yet and it was package individually and nicely. Here are a few pictures of her products Brigadeiros:
New Flavor Black Forrest
So I bet now you are wondering did we enjoy them or not....well let me tell you that this was a first for all of us, as well as never even heard of Brigadeiro before I met Livia Salinas the owner and read about them on her website. Now the moment of truth yes we enjoyed them and a matter fact the family favorite was the chocolate crunch. Each one of them had an unique flavor even just the original was tasteful and gave us a hint of what they were suppose to taste like before trying the flavor ones. From the looks of it I think my almost two year old enjoyed them all...lol!
The new flavor black Forrest was absolutely amazing, love how when we took a bit into it we tasted a cherry in the middle....yum! It was moist, flavorful, and the flavor which including the cherry went just right.
Churro: All I have to say this was second for us. If you know the actual dessert churro you won't be disappointed with this one. Everything right on point!
Coconut: We are not to big on Coconut but this wasn't strong with coconut flavor which made it very enjoyable.
White Chocolate: Hubby said he love how the white chocolate was moist and wasn't rich
Dark chocolate and Coconut: Two flavor a that goes well together and can't go wrong
Chocolate Cruch: Oh yum! You know the crunch candy bar well this is what exactly that taste like. Family favorite.
Original: Not sure what flavor to try or get or is your first time trying Brigadeiro can't go wrong with original, plus it will get your taste buds ready for the flavor ones. Chocolate on chocolate can't beat that.
Everyone of these Brigadeiros were moist, flavor was on point and not rich whatsoever, and just like all the other ones her new flavor Black Forrest will be successful.
If you are ever in the Katy area or even the Houston area and need dessert try Brigadeiro! Livia Salinas does delivery, just reach out to her to work something out. Here is her information:
