Açaínho

Our story

How Açainho started

Açainho wasn't born in an office. It was born from eating açaí at home in Brazil, and wanting it to taste the same here.

It starts in Pará

In the state of Pará açaí is not a trend: it is everyday food. That is where we learned to tell the good from the merely good-looking, and who to buy it from.

The idea

In Spain we found açaí everywhere, but almost never the one we knew. Too much sugar, too much water, too little flavour. So we decided to bring it ourselves.

Today

We pick the raw material at source, look after the cold chain and serve the same product we would serve at home. No more, no less.

If we wouldn't give it to our own family, we don't sell it.

We write this page ourselves and we'll keep changing it as the story changes. If you want to be part of it, get in touch.
