I always enjoy hosting a Golden Empadas table at local Farmer's Markets. Our authentic Brazilian empadas catch the attention of everyone walking by. It is heartwarming to see so many Americans curious to try something new. Kids love the look of them, adults are surprised by the flavor, and many come back for more. One little girl even said: “I love this pie!” moments like that make it all worth it.
One fun thing that always happens is people ask:
“Is this an empanada?”
I love explaining: “No, this is called empada . That is what we call this delicious snack in Brazil.”..

While an empanada is typically Spanish or Latin and has a different style of dough and filling, the Brazilian empada is something unique. It is buttery, flaky, and filled with rich, savory fillings made from traditional recipes passed down from grandma’s kitchen.
This kind of cultural exchange is one of the most rewarding parts of our work. Sharing a little piece of Brazilian culinary tradition, and seeing people fall in love with it, is what fuels us every day.
Our best-sellers? The chicken empada, shrimp, codfish, pizza, and our special vegetarian empada — all handcrafted and frozen for convenience, ready to bake and enjoy.
Thank you to everyone who stops by, supports us, and gives our empadas a try. We are proud to be bringing authentic Brazilian food to Boston.
