Chablis and Bolo de Rolo (Guava Roll Cake)

Chablis and “Guava Roll Cake” ? Yes!!


I’d go for 20 years Port Wine ou crisp Champagne as the perfect pairing. And it is!!


As I had some Chablis in the glass and love to try unusual wine pairing, I gave it a try.


What a lovely surprise, it was fantastic!
The complex flavor profile of the Guava Roll Cake interacted with the Chablis acidity beautifully.


How didn’t I think of this pairing before?
How didn’t I made the correlation with the Blanc de Blancs Champagne pairing?
Sound like a logical link.
Well, I’m glad I did.


Whenever in Recife-Brazil, it’s a must try.

Guava Roll Cake is one of the cultural heritage of that region, the Northeastern Coast of Brazil.

It’s a very fine roll cake filled with an exquisite guava marmalade.


Cheers!
