Instead of running around Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or Utrecht looking for sal grosso and farofa, order everything from Desapega. We stock all the Brazilian essentials that make churrasco authentic.
This is your complete shopping list – from seasonings to sides to drinks. Order by Tuesday, receive by the weekend, and you're ready to host the perfect churrasco.
🛍️ Complete shopping list from Desapega.nl:
Essential Seasonings (The Foundation):
1. Sal Grosso (Coarse Sea Salt) - NON-NEGOTIABLE
Sal Grosso Marinho 1kg – THE defining ingredient of Brazilian churrasco. You cannot make authentic picanha without this. Fine salt doesn't create the same crust.
2. Alho Granulado (Granulated Garlic)
Ferbar Alho Granulado 50g – Quick garlic flavor for marinades and sides
3. Louro (Bay Leaves)
Ferbar Louro 90g – For beans and rice
4. Pimenta Malagueta (Hot Pepper)
Pimenta Malagueta Verde – Essential hot sauce for those who like heat
The Meats (From Dutch Butchers):
What to Buy at Your Local Butcher:
- Picanha (Rump Cap): 1.5-2kg – The star of Brazilian BBQ
- Fraldinha (Flank Steak): 1kg – Thin, flavorful cut
- Costela (Beef Ribs): 1-1.5kg – Slow-cooked perfection
- Coração de Frango (Chicken Hearts): 500g – Traditional favorite
Brazilian Sausages (From Desapega):
- Prisca Linguiça Calabresa 300g – Smoky Brazilian sausage, perfect starter

Essential Sides (The Complete Experience):
1. Farofa (MANDATORY)
Yoki Farofa Tradicional 400g – The crunchy cassava flour that's absolutely essential. Order 2-3 bags for a party!
2. Arroz Branco (White Rice)
Camil Arroz Branco 1kg – Fluffy white rice to accompany the meat
3. Feijão Preto (Black Beans)
Camil Feijão Preto 1kg – Creamy black beans, the perfect side
4. Vinagrete (Brazilian Salsa)

Brazilian Sodas:
Guaraná Antarctica 0.33L – Order 12-24 cans for a party. The authentic Brazilian BBQ drink!

Churrasco Tips from Brazilian Grill Masters
Grilling Secrets:
- Use sal grosso ONLY – no other seasonings on picanha
- Start with fat-side down to render and crisp
- Don't flip too often – let it sear
- Medium-rare is perfect for picanha (52-55°C internal)
- Let meat rest 10 minutes before slicing
- Slice AGAINST the grain
Timing Strategy:
- Start costela first (3-4 hours low and slow)
- Grill linguiça as appetizer (15 minutes)
- Picanha and fraldinha last (20-30 minutes)
- Chicken hearts quick at the end (10 minutes)
Serving Style:
- Slice meats at the grill, serve immediately
- Keep farofa on the table
- Refill guaraná constantly
- Encourage seconds (and thirds!)

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really get everything at Desapega?
Yes! All Brazilian essentials are here. You'll only need to visit a butcher for fresh meat and a supermarket for vegetables.
How quickly will I receive my order?
Most orders ship within 1-3 business days. Delivery takes 2-4 days, depending on location. Order by Tuesday for weekend delivery!
What if I forget something?
We deliver across the Netherlands! If you realize you need more farofa or guaraná, order and we'll ship quickly.
Can I use regular salt instead of sal grosso?
No! Sal grosso is essential for authentic Brazilian churrasco. Fine salt over-salts and doesn't create the crust.
Where do I buy picanha in Netherlands?
Most good butchers carry it. Ask for "rump cap" or "top sirloin cap." Show them a photo if needed.
How long does farofa last?
6-12 months in pantry. Stock up – you'll use it for every churrasco!
Bom churrasco! 🇧🇷🥩
