Corte's Feijoada Mix Brazilian Black Bean Stew Mix by Cortes

This was my first time trying feijoada, and it was a complete success! The flavor was incredible—rich, authentic, and absolutely delicious. I have a sensitive digestive system, but I had no issues at all, which was such a pleasant surprise. I’m officially in love with it and will definitely be back for more. Highly recommend!

Love it for Brazilian black beans. Do not add salt to your beans. This is salty enough

Like a lot of the other reviews, I received the product in an ice chest, but the cooling pack was completely melted. I put it in the fridge right away and used it pretty soon after arrival. The meats in this product are all cured so I wasn't too concerned about it being shipped frozen or anything, but I would have preferred if it at least arrived cold. But it was actually a fairly decent quality and made a nice addition to my feijoada.

Good

This is a very decent mix with Brazilian smoked style meats. I really like the smell and flavor (linguiça paio, salted pork belly and my favorite "jerky beef" or "carne de sertão" is included. All you have to do is quickly rinse the meats in hot water, the mix is not very salted which made my job easier. After you rinse the meats, sauteed onions, garlic, paprika, cumin, black pepper, a splash of vinegar e cilantro. Add the meats and cook it with the beans (pinto or black) and voilá, amazing beans in 1 hour.

Feijoada is a traditional black bean Portuguese/Brazilian dish that I had when I was in Brazil that contains a unique combination of meats. The Corte’s product provides the meats and from what I remember it delivered an authentic taste. Very happy with the product and have purchased it three times.

Extra salty meats and a bit too much fat

It tastes like home! Package arrived when promised and in good condition.
