Gourmet products local specialties and wines Tiradentes

Mineira's rich gastronomy offers a whole range of sweet products. For several generations, the Chico Doceiro store has offered a range of sweets and chocolates that are much appreciated by locals and thousands of visitors to the small town. Whether it's a hot chocolate to warm up the cool nights of the Mineiro winter, or chocolates and sweets to savour the sweetness of the place, visitors will be spoilt for choice. The Doce de leite with lemon is just one of a whole range of flavors. A must-try.

You can't come to Tiradentes without tasting the local pastries: rocamboles. This tradition dates back over 100 years. The "O Rocambole & Cia" store is inseparable from this traditional sweet product. Here, you'll find twenty different flavors (dulce de leche, chocolate, guava). Rocambole & Cia promises traditional Minas Gerais products, doce de leite, guava, Minas Gerais cheeses, delicious cornbread, cubu and the famous pastel de angu. Local cheeses are also available. A place to discover.

It's often said that Minas Gerais is another "cheese country". Of course, these dairy products are not as varied as their counterparts in old Europe, but they're well worth knowing. The Ouro Canasa Q'jeiria store is entirely dedicated to cheese in all its forms. It offers a wide variety of artisanal products from Mineiras and Brazilian farms. You'll also find fine hams and mouth-watering chutneys. Last but not least, the staff are particularly knowledgeable and generous with their explanations.
