History
The Brigadeiro is a traditional Brazilian dessert, popular confection throughout the country, especially for festive events. The origin of the dessert is uncertain. They usually say it was invented by Brazilian women in the 1954 elections. Which women? For those who supported – the then candidate for the Presidency of the Republic by the National Democratic Union (UDN) party – Eduardo Gomes (1896 -1981) who, at the time, held the rank of Brigadier. One of woman was Heloisa Nabuco de Oliveira, a confectioner from Rio de Janeiro. She helped to promote the presidential candidacy of Eduardo Gomes.
Women made sweets and more sweets in their kitchens and – later – instead of handing out little saints and/or paper folders, they distributed sweets. Some records of similar sweets were found in years prior to the campaigns disputed by Eduardo Gomes, the Brigadier.
Brigadier Eduardo Gomes lost the elections that ran for the Presidency of the Republic (1945 and 1950).
The BRIGADEIRO candy won all the attention and remains elected among the most delicious riches of Brazilian cuisine.
