A Brazilian treasure

The allureof fraldinha.

Fraldinha is cherished in Brazil for its flavor and juiciness. Its abundant marbling melts as it roasts, so every bite is tender and rich.

We keep it the traditional way: a little salt, a lot of fire. The flames meet the natural juices and build a deep, savory crust, then your gaucho chef carves it thin, right at your table.
