Carne de Sol

Cultural Context

Carne de Sol, or Sun-Dried Meat, hails from the northeastern regions of Brazil, where the sun's intense heat naturally cures the beef. This traditional method preserves the meat for long periods, making it a staple in local cuisine. Often enjoyed with sides like cassava and cheese, Carne de Sol embodies the resourcefulness of Brazilian culture. Today, it is celebrated in various forms across Brazil and has gained popularity in restaurants worldwide, showcasing the rich flavors of Brazilian gastronomy.
