Pao De Mel - Honey Bread












Pao De Mel is a very good Brazilian Bread. It is very unique to anything I have ever tried before in the mix of flavors that it has to offer. The ones that I have tried are relatively small in size. They are round in shape 3 inches by 3 inches approximately.

The composition of the Pao De Mel tastes like gingerbread and has a gingerbread color as well. There is a layer of thick honey in between the layers of bread. On the outside is chocolate covering the entire thing. On top of the chocolate is a gold coloring that looks like spray paint if I just looked at it, but I realize that it is really something different. The pictures above don't showcase the gold coloring form the Pao De Mel I have tried.

When you bite into the Pao De Mel, it tastes strongly like gingerbread. It is not a very subtle taste but instead something a little more powerful yet very good. The honey to bread ratio is pretty satisfying. The honey keeps the bread from tasting too dry and strong and the bread keeps the honey from tasting too sweet. The chocolate on top gives just enough of a sweet touch to pull the whole thing together without tasting too sweet. The whole thing is very delicious!
