Icy Treats in Amazonia: Sorveteria Cairú
When you're in a hot and humid spot, what makes for a better treat than ice cream? It seems as the Belém is know for it's icy treats, especially those made from the amazing variety of Amazon fruits (walking through the market is an wonder to the sense!). I'm not usually a big ice cream (or gelatto, or all the other ice treats) fan. Sorveteria Cairú, which seems to be quite well known, had a nice stand in the former warehouses (now shops and restaurants) along the river. After a nice dinner, we decided it needed to be topped off with a treat.
My hosts wanted to make sure that I was able to make my decision with the most information, so they had me do a taste test of every flavor (not sure how the guy behind the counter felt about that!). By the time I was done with my tasting, I didn't really need an actual serving, but, when in Belém …
So, I went with the Pave de Cupuçau, a sort of Cupuçau rocky road. Quite good, and capped off tasty day in the Amazon.
