Hey friends and foodies!

Happy almost officially summer! We’re getting into the swing of our favorite season here in New England. We’re grilling out on the beach, sitting poolside, and enjoying all our favorite outdoor activities with friends and families. We’d love to help you build the perfect cookout menu for the Fourth of July and have rounded up some of our favorites to get you started.

All-Star Summer Frozen Drink – Del’s Lemonade 

Bring the fresh and sweet taste of Del’s home with this quart of dry mix. Add water, ice, and dry lemonade mix into a blender for 30 seconds to create individual servings of Del’s! The dry mix makes up to 16 servings which equals out to 1 Gallon of frozen lemonade. Pro-tip – stick the lemonade in the freezer for a couple of hours to make at-home slushies!

Sizzling Summer Grill Favorites – Gaspar’s Meats

Now is the perfect time to order Gaspar’s linguica and chourico for the cookout, party, or any occasion.
We have put together an INTERNET ONLY special to make ordering easy and take the guesswork out of ordering if you’re trying our products for the first time. Gaspar’s 50/50 Gift Pack includes a combination of 12 pounds (approximate weight) of mouthwatering Gaspar’s linguica and Chourico.  Your order will contain half linguica (6 pounds) and half chourico (6 pounds).

Fenway Favorites – Kayem Beef Franks

One bite and you will feel like you’re sitting behind home plate staring out at the Green Monster as the Sox play the Yankees.
Kayem only uses the very best cuts of beef and the right amount of spices that New Englanders love.

The Supporting Players – Condiments and Buns

Need something sweet to put on your hotdog or burger? Look no further than Cain’s Sweet Pickle Relish. Gluten-free, fat-free, and the perfect addition to your BBQ favorite.

Whipping up a lobster roll or hotdog to go with that relish? Take yourself to a New England seafood shack with our famous Gold Medal split-top buns. Other rolls may be sliced down the side but these hot dog rolls are sliced across the top, making it easy to grill both sides to golden perfection. This split-top feature, believe it or not, is unique to “New England”.

Hey friends and foodies,

We’re in the ‘Fool’s Spring’ portion of the winter here in New England. We’ve had a couple of days where temps have climbed to a balmy almost-50 and it’s got us thinking about some of our favorite baked goods that come with the transition into spring and the Easter season.

One of my favorite things to do is create a New England-themed breakfast. Here’s how you can make a delicious Portuguese breakfast sandwich using the finest chourico patties from Gaspar’s! It’s easy and delicious – even for the pickiest little eaters in the house. First, fry the chourico on both sides and remove it from heat. Then lower the heat and fry up an egg to your liking using salt and pepper for taste. While that is cooking pop an Amaral’s Bolos Levedos Portuguese Muffin in the toaster. If you’d like to add cheese to your egg. Once the muffin is heated build your breakfast sandwich with the chourico patty and egg! Some people like dipping it in hot sauce or ketchup.

Bolos Levedos Portuguese Muffins 14 oz.

Toast them up or eat them straight out of the bag; you’ll love them either way!  As stated above, Bolos Levedos are great for breakfast sandwiches!

They’re Back!

For over fifty years Amaral’s Bakery has baked Portuguese favorites for all of New England. Easter is just under a month away so you may want to start thinking about your order now!

Portuguese Mini Easter Sweetbreads come in a package of 6. Each miniature loaf comes with one hard-boiled egg. Our local Portuguese residents also refer to this as “folar” and request it every spring!

Portuguese Easter Sweetbread with 2 Eggs from Amaral’s Bakery is a hometown favorite for Easter. The hard-boiled eggs are cooked into the bread and are said to symbolize rebirth.

Our full selection of Amaral’s Bakery includes Portuguese Sweetbread rolls, Bolos Levedos Portuguese Muffins, Portuguese Tea Biscuits, and traditional sweetbreads can be found here.
