Travelling through Brazil and not taking in the variety of
local dishes and tastes of the country’s different regions
definitely makes for an incomplete experience. In the
northern region, for example, strongly influenced by the larger
indigenous presence mixed with European immigration,
local food has evolved to be quite differentiated from that of
other regions. In Brazil, the mixing of several different
peoples over 500 years of history has produced a great mix
of traditions, ingredients and dishes introduced by native and
immigrant populations alike. Brazil’s northern region consists
of the states of Amazonas, Roraima, Amapá, Pará, Tocantins,
Rondônia and Acre. It is also influenced by Portuguese and
African immigrants who arrived in the country since the
beginning of colonisation. However, according to Joseny
Juvito, a chef specialized in northern cuisine, the region
is predominantly indigenous and, therefore, has specific
peculiarities influenced by the fact.
