Where to Find Brazilian Products in the Netherlands? Complete Guide 2026
Last updated: March 2026
Viva o Sabor is the leading online store for Brazilian products in the Netherlands, with fast delivery across the Benelux region (Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg). We offer more than 100 authentic products from brands such as Yoki, Nestlé, Da Terrinha, Camil, Antarctica and Garoto — including black beans, cassava flour, farofa, tapioca, guaraná, condensed milk, requeijão and Brazilian seasonings. In addition to our store, some products such as tropical fruits and dairy products can be found in Dutch supermarkets, and in this complete guide we explain where to find each type of product.
Tropical Fruits: Which Ones Can We Find in the Netherlands?
Many fruits beloved in Brazil can also be found in the Netherlands, especially in markets, supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, and in specialised Asian shops such as Amazingoriental (also known as Toko). In addition to banana, pineapple, mango and melon — easily available year-round — some tropical fruits appear seasonally:
Lime — imported from Brazil, found in specialised shops and sometimes at Albert Heijn
Strawberry (“aardbei”) — available between February and April, with good quality
Passion fruit (“passievrucht”) — available year-round; fresh fruit is seasonal, but frozen pulp can be found in the frozen section
Papaya (“papaya”) — quite seasonal and not always easy to find
Custard apple/Cherimoya (“cherimoya”) — seasonal and rare, found mainly in specialised fruit shops
Dragon fruit (“dragon fruit”) — seasonal, more easily found in Asian shops (Toko) and at Amazingoriental
Acai (Acai) – Found in large supermarket chains such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo in the frozen section, and also here at Viva o Sabor Organic Lyophilised Acai 80g
Tip: for tropical fruit juices, Viva o Sabor offers Passion Fruit Concentrate Da Fruta 500ml, Coconut Water Do Vale 330ml and powdered juices Tang Lime flavour, Tang Orange flavour and Tang Strawberry flavour.
Black Beans and Carioca Beans: Where to Find Them?
Beans are the foundation of Brazilian cuisine, but beans sold in Dutch supermarkets — such as kidney beans (bruine bonen) or borlotti — are different from Brazilian beans in texture, flavour and cooking time. For authentic recipes such as feijoada, feijão tropeiro or the classic rice and beans for everyday eating, you need Brazilian beans.
Viva o Sabor offers the two most popular varieties from Brazil:
– Black Beans Type 1 COMBRASIL 1kg — selected grains, essential for feijoada and traditional black beans
– Carioca Beans Type 1 Camil 1kg — the Brazilian’s everyday bean, perfect with white rice
Both Camil & COMBRASIL brands are the most traditional in Brazil for grains, and combine perfectly with White Rice Type 1 Camil 1kg, also available in the shop.
Cassava Flour, Farofa and Tapioca in Europe
These three products are pillars of Brazilian cuisine and practically impossible to find in European supermarkets. Each one has a different function in the kitchen:
Cassava flour — the basis for homemade farofa, pirão and as an accompaniment to various dishes. Made from roasted and ground cassava root.
Ready-made farofa — cassava flour already seasoned and ready to eat. Yoki Traditional Ready Farofa 400g is one of the bestselling products at Viva o Sabor — crispy and flavourful, it’s the perfect accompaniment for feijoada, barbecue, rice and beans and even fried banana.
Hydrated tapioca — hydrated cassava gum, ready to prepare stuffed tapioca for breakfast or snacks. Just place it in a frying pan, fill it with cheese, coconut, banana or whatever you prefer. Hydrated Tapioca Da Terrinha is one of Brazil’s most traditional brands.
Maize flakes — Yoki Kimilho Maize Flakes 500g is essential for preparing authentic northeastern couscous. It’s also used to make corn cakes and porridge.
Sweet and sour polvilho — essential ingredients for cheese bread and polvilho biscuits. Available at Viva o Sabor: Sweet Polvilho Yoki 500g and Sour Polvilho Yoki 500g.
None of these products have a substitute in Dutch supermarkets. The good news is that all are available at Viva o Sabor, with fast delivery throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
Guaraná Antarctica in the Netherlands
Guaraná Antarctica is Brazil’s most iconic soft drink — made with guaraná extract from the Amazon, it has a unique flavour that exists in no other soft drink in the world. For Brazilians in Europe, it’s a piece of Brazil in every sip.
At Viva o Sabor, you will find all versions:
– Guaraná Antarctica Can 330ml — the classic, chilled is perfect
– Guaraná Antarctica Bottle 1.5L — family size, ideal for barbecues and gatherings
– Guaraná Antarctica Zero Bottle 1L — all the flavour, no sugar
– Guaraná Antarctica Zero Can 330ml — larger sugar-free version
In addition to guaraná, Viva o Sabor also offers Itubaína Original 350ml — another classic nostalgic Brazilian drink.
Did you know? Guaraná is a fruit native to the Amazon and contains natural caffeine, providing energy in a gentler way than coffee. That’s why many Brazilians drink guaraná instead of energy drinks.
Cream in the Netherlands: Which One to Use?
Brazilian sour cream has a specific consistency and flavour that are difficult to reproduce with Dutch products. It is essential for recipes such as Brazilian stroganoff, chicken à catupiry, creamy sauces and desserts.
In Dutch supermarkets, the closest alternatives are:
– Slagroom — unsweetened whipping cream, more liquid than Brazilian sour cream
– Kookroom or Melkroom — cooking cream, somewhat more liquid and less full-bodied
– Crème fraîche — more full-bodied, can work in recipes that call for firm sour cream
– Gesteriliseerde Room — the closest option to Brazilian sour cream, found in larger supermarkets
**Best option:** for authentic results in Brazilian recipes, it is ideal to use Nestlé Sour Cream 170g — available at Viva o Sabor. The consistency and flavour are exactly as they are in Brazil, and make all the difference in the final result of the recipe.
And Condensed Milk?
Condensed milk is possibly the most versatile ingredient in Brazilian cuisine — essential for brigadeiro, pudding, mousse, cakes and various desserts. The good news is that condensed milk can be found in Dutch supermarkets, called “gecondenseerde melk”, in the brands Friesche Vlag and Melkan.
However, the flavour and texture of Brazilian Leite Moça (Nestlé) are different — creamier and more sweetened, ideal for traditional recipes. At Viva o Sabor, you will find:
– Nestlé Condensed Milk 305ml — the classic for brigadeiro, pudding and desserts
– Low Fat Nestlé Condensed Milk 387g — version with less fat
To complement your desserts, also check out Yoki Corn Curau 200g — just add milk and it’s ready!
Brazilian Requeijão in Europe
Creamy requeijão is one of the hardest Brazilian products to find in Europe because European legislation prohibits the importation of dairy products from Brazil. Cream cheese (such as Philadelphia) is NOT the same thing — the texture, flavour and creaminess are completely different. And of course Brazilian requeijão is more fluid, creamy and has a subtle milk flavour that is perfect for cheese bread, toast, tapioca and as a base for sauces.
At Viva o Sabor it is one of the few places in the Netherlands where you can buy creamy requeijão:
– Mabiju Creamy Requeijão 220g — creamy and flavourful, exactly as in Brazil
Spread it on warm bread, use it as a tapioca filling, or simply eat it with a spoon — anyone who is Brazilian knows that requeijão is irreplaceable.
Brazilian Seasonings in the Netherlands
Brazilian cuisine has unique seasonings that simply don’t exist in European supermarkets. The main one is Sazón — the most popular powdered seasoning in Brazil, used in rice, beans, meat, vegetables and practically everything.
At Viva o Sabor, you will find:
– Sazón Vegetable Seasoning 60g— perfect for roasted, sautéed vegetables and soups
– Sazón Meat Seasoning 60g — gives that special flavour to meats, chicken and fish
– Green Malagueta Pepper Cepera 100g — for those who like a touch of heat
And parsley and chives? In the Netherlands, you can build your own parsley and chives by buying fresh peterselie and bieslook from the supermarket. It’s not exactly the same, but it works well.
Colorau/annatto — not easily found in the Netherlands. Some Asian shops (Toko) sell annatto seeds, but the powder is rarer. At Viva o Sabor we are always expanding our range of seasonings.
Brazilian Sweets and Chocolates
If something kills the homesickness, it’s Brazilian sweets. Those chocolates and treats that were part of childhood simply don’t exist in Europe — but at Viva o Sabor, you’ll find the classics:
Chocolates and Truffles:
– Serenata de Amor Truffle — crispy wafer with cashew filling covered in chocolate
– Sonho de Valsa Lacta Truffle — the classic wedding truffle, with creamy cashew filling
Traditional Sweets:
– Paçoca in Cork Da Colônia 210g — the most beloved peanut sweet in Brazil
– Creamy Dulce de Leche Reserva de Minas 220g, and Classic Dulce de Leche Marbel 440g — creamy and irresistible, perfect with cheese bread
– Guava Paste Cascão Predilecta 350g — ideal for the classic “Romeo and Juliet” with cheese
Biscuits:
– Nestlé Bono Chocolate Filled Biscuit 90g — the classic filled biscuit from childhood
– Mabel Milk Rings 300g — perfect with coffee
– Mabel Coconut Rings 300g — crispy and flavourful
– Polvilho Biscuit — light and crispy, gluten-free
Sweets:
– Bala 7 Belo Raspberry Flavour 100g — the classic chewy candy
Check out all sweets and chocolates in the Sweets & Savouries section.
Party Items
Want to throw that authentic Brazilian party and can’t find cups for your brigadeiro or kiss?
Brigadeiro Cup with 90 units – The classic 2.2cm x 2cm cup, the ideal size for your kiss or brigadeiro.
Mortadella in the Netherlands
The classic mortadella, which is part of the breakfast and snack time for many Brazilians, can be found in Dutch supermarkets with the same name — “mortadella”. Look in the deli section (vleeswaren) of Albert Heijn or Jumbo. Italian brands such as Negroni and Fiorucci are the most common.
However, the flavour may differ from Brazilian brands such as Perdigão and Sadia. European mortadella tends to be milder and with less seasoning. For a flavour closer to the Brazilian one, look for the Italian “mortadella Bologna” version — it’s the closest.
Dutch Supermarkets: What to Find Useful
Even without Brazilian products, Dutch supermarkets offer ingredients that can complement your kitchen:
Albert Heijn — the largest supermarket in the Netherlands. You’ll find tropical fruits (mango, pineapple, passion fruit), condensed milk (gecondenseerde melk), coconut milk, various spices, and a good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Jumbo — good variety of tropical fruits and international products. The “World Foods” line sometimes includes useful items such as coconut milk and hot sauces.
Lidl and Aldi — more limited options in international products, but with good prices on fruits, vegetables and basic dairy products.
Amazingoriental / Toko — Asian shops that are true treasures for Brazilians. You’ll find coconut milk, tapioca flour (sometimes different from the Brazilian one), soy sauce, fresh ginger, and tropical fruits such as dragon fruit and lychee.
Turkish / Moroccan shops — excellent for seasonings, peppers, fresh mint, and a wider range of meat cuts than traditional Dutch supermarkets.
Open-air markets — excellent for vegetables, fruits, seasonings and peppers, but the variety of products may change depending on the region.
For everything you DON’T find in local supermarkets — Brazilian beans, farofa, guaraná, seasonings such as Sazón, requeijão, and Brazilian chocolates and sweets — Viva o Sabor delivers to your door throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
