“A pleasure you suffer, an ailment you enjoy.” Manuel de Melo
Saudade is an untranslatable Portuguese term referencing the places and experiences that have brought pleasure and excitement to our lives. The recollection of these moments allow us to relive a happiness that might be repressed, but far from forgotten. We interpret it through meals shared with strangers during travel, the recipes that give comfort during heartbreak, dishes experienced with loved ones, and the tastes missed from childhood.
Saudade Specialty Foods was created to provide a source for stores, restaurants and bars in finding sustainable, ethical and delicious pantry staples from a company that is committed to giving back to every community they source from. Many food distributors focus on meat, dairy and produce. We focus on all the rest. We can’t wait to be in your kitchen.
