About Broa de mel
Broa de Mel is a traditional Portuguese honey cornbread popular in the country's northern regions. This rustic loaf combines ingredients like cornmeal, rye flour, honey, brown sugar, spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, and sometimes dried fruit or nuts. Olive oil is often used to enhance its moist texture and rich flavor. Originating as a hearty bread served during festive occasions, Broa de Mel embodies the comforting and earthy notes of Portuguese baking. While the honey and spices offer antioxidants and a natural sweetness, the use of whole grains like cornmeal and rye contribute fiber and essential nutrients. However, its added sugars and oil mean it’s best enjoyed in moderation. Broa de Mel pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea, making it a satisfying treat that bridges the gap between dessert and traditional bread.
