If you’ve just arrived here and are eager to cure your homesickness, you must be wondering: Where can I find Brazilian products in the Netherlands? The good news is that you can find most of these products at Viva o Sabor, but some specific items, especially fruits, are available in local supermarkets! Below, we detail exactly how you can find them.
🥭Tropical Fruits: which Fruits Can We Find in the Netherlands?
Many beloved fruits from Brazil can also be found here, especially at markets and in most supermarkets. Besides easily found Banana, Pineapple, Mango, and Melon, some other fruits can be found seasonally such as:
✅ Green Lime (imported from Brazil)
✅ Strawberry (found as “aardbei”, usually between February and April)
✅ Passion Fruit (“passievrucht”, available year-round, if not the fruit, often the pulp in the frozen section)
✅ Papaya (found as “papaya”, quite seasonal and therefore not very easy to find)
✅ Atemoya or Cherimoya (found as “Cherimoya”, also quite seasonal and therefore not very easy to find)
✅ Pitaya (found as “Dragon Fruit”, seasonal, and often found only in specialized fruit stores)
Mortadella in the Netherlands? Yes, You Can Find it! 🤌🏻
The classic mortadella, which is part of many Brazilians’ breakfast, can be found in supermarkets as “mortadella” itself. However, the flavors may be different from the options that exist in Brazil.
Creme De Leite (Heavy Cream) in the Netherlands: which one to Use?
The Brazilian creme de leite is not so easily found here, but there are alternatives:
✅ Slagroom (unsweetened whipping cream)
✅ Kookroom or Melkroom (cooking cream), a version of cream that’s a bit more liquid and less thick
✅ For thicker recipes, crème fraîche can be a good option
The closest to Brazilian creme de leite is possibly Gesteriliseerd Room, or MelkRoom, these can sometimes be found in large supermarkets, in brands like Nestle, and Sütdiyarl (Kaymak).
And What about Condensed Milk?
Condensed milk can be easily found in almost all supermarkets, here it’s called “gecondenseerd melk”, the best-known brands are Friesche Vlag and Melkan.
Both can be found here on the Viva o Sabor website.
