We, at Cook in Rio, offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fruitbrazil.com\/\">supermarket tour<\/a> before our cooking classes as an option for our students.

Anything that might go bad during your flight, like meat or dairy, or anything that&#8217;s too bulky, like lots of Brazilian cookies or juices, might just be too large for you to bring back in your backpack or your suitcase.

One of them is called <em>Requeij\u00e3o<\/em> (cream cheese), which is the creamiest cheese in the world, and I say this without any exaggeration. It&#8217;s the real cream cheese and makes Philadelphia look like white cement. <em>Requeij\u00e3o<\/em> can slowly, and usually slower than molasses, ooze out of its jar. Great on pretty much anything, especially toast. Also, it is an amazing gift for you to bring back. Purchase a dozen of them and distribute them to all of your friends; they will adore you. And it will cost you under $2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Brazilian bottles of alcohol should you buy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cacha\u00e7a<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"183\" height=\"275\" src=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/chachaaa.jpeg\" alt=\"cacha\u00e7a (liquor bottle brazilian supermarket)\" class=\"wp-image-2618\" style=\"width:216px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">        <em>cacha\u00e7a<\/em> (liquor)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing to bring back is <em>cacha\u00e7a<\/em> (liquor) from Brazil. You can find them here for, say, six to ten bucks. Whereas in Europe or the US, they&#8217;ll sell for three to four times that. So you might as well bring some back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brazilian champagne<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"194\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Casa-Perini.jpeg\" alt=\"six different color brazilian champagne bottle. brazilian supermarket\" class=\"wp-image-2641\" style=\"width:301px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brazilian champagne is up-and-coming on the radar of most international sommeliers, as Brazil is quickly becoming the largest producer of high-quality sparkling wine, winning several awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>South American wines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"885\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/wine.jpg\" alt=\"four friends enjoying with a glass of wine in the hand\" class=\"wp-image-2620\" style=\"width:501px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/wine.jpg 885w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/wine-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/wine-768x486.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another choice is Chilean or Argentinian white and red wine. And basically, you can just buy according to price. You don&#8217;t even have to consult Vivino, since Chilean and Argentinian wines are excellent. Their harvest varies very little, in contrast to French wine, which can change drastically from year to year. So you can just blindly buy a Chilean or an Argentinian white or red wine. And you can buy any Brazilian sparkling wine. Also, if you spend around ten to twenty dollars, you&#8217;re certain to get a very good sparkling wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Grapes to look out for<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/malbec-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/malbec-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/malbec-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/malbec-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/malbec-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/malbec.jpg 1191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Malbec (Argentina)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/carmenere.jpg\" alt=\"Carmenere from Chile wine\" class=\"wp-image-2622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/carmenere.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/carmenere-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/carmenere-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/carmenere-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Carmenere (Chile)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Torrontes-Argentina.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Torrontes-Argentina.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Torrontes-Argentina-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Torrontes-Argentina-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Torrontes (Argentina)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it worth buying coffee from Brazil?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brazilian coffee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"461\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/brazilian-coffe.jpg\" alt=\"coffee packet black and blue color\" class=\"wp-image-2612\" style=\"width:486px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/brazilian-coffe.jpg 461w, https:\/\/cookinrio.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/brazilian-coffe-300x287.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another fun thing for you to bring back is Brazilian coffee.
