This December, we're delighted to welcome you to the warm and festive atmosphere of Christmas. To delight your taste buds, let's dive into one of Brazil's delicious traditional Christmas recipes: Rabanada!

A sweet treasure of Portuguese origin, the Rabanada has become an integral part of Brazilian Christmas festivities. A symbol of generosity and conviviality, each golden slice embodies the history and love shared at this special time of year.
