Available at Viva o Sabor with fast delivery to the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

What Is Goiabada?

Goiabada is a typically Brazilian delicacy — a firm sweet made from guava pulp slowly cooked with sugar until it reaches a dense, creamy consistency. There is no direct equivalent outside Brazil.

In Brazil, goiabada is as traditional as chocolate cake is in Europe. It is served at parties, at cocktail receptions, with cheese, as a dessert after a Sunday lunch, or simply eaten on its own with a spoon. Goiabada is an expression of affection — "those who make goiabada, make it with love", goes a popular Brazilian saying.

Goiabada Cascão is the variety that includes pieces of guava skin along with the pulp, giving a granular and more "rustic" texture compared to traditional goiabada. This skin adds fibre, texture, and a special touch that sets the product apart.

Differences Between Types of Goiabada:

• Goiabada Vermelha — Made only from guava pulp, intense red colour, smooth texture
• Goiabada Cascão — Made with pulp + skin, darker brown colour, granular texture, additional fibre
• Goiabada Gourmet — Premium version with selected ingredients, superior texture
• Goiabada Zero Açúcar — Version for those avoiding sugar, sweetened with other ingredients

In het Nederlands: Goiabada is een traditioneel Braziliaans dessert gemaakt van guavafruit en suiker. Cascão bevat guavapulp met stukjes schil, wat een unieke korrelachtige textuur geeft. Het is niet te vergelijken met Europese vruchtenpasteien.

In English: Guava paste (goiabada) is a traditional Brazilian sweet made from guava fruit and sugar. Cascão includes fruit pulp with bits of the skin, giving it a unique granular texture. It has no European equivalent — it's a uniquely Brazilian delicacy.

The Famous "Romeu e Julieta" Pairing — Goiabada with Cheese

The classic combination "Romeu e Julieta" (goiabada + semi-cured cheese) is a Brazilian tradition that deserves its own description. No one knows the exact origin of the name (there are various legends), but the pairing is a staple at parties, breakfast tables, and cocktail receptions.

The creamy sweetness of the goiabada contrasts perfectly with the salty creaminess of the cheese — it is a harmony of flavours that the whole of Brazil has known since childhood.

How to Serve Romeu e Julieta:

1. Cut a slice of goiabada (approximately 20g)
2. Accompany with a slice of semi-cured cheese (such as Meia da Noite, Serrano, or similar)
3. Optionally: add a cracker or savoury biscuit as a base
4. Eat in one bite — let the flavours come together in the mouth

Popular variations:

• Served on small skewers (wooden forks) as a canapé at parties
• Melted over warm pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread)
• As a filling for cakes or tarts together with cheese
• With ice cream (yes, it is delicious!)
