Comforting and homey but at the same time exotic enough to make this year’s holiday meal just a little more special, the Bolo Rei, Portuguese King Cake, is a delicious mix of hearty white dough, crunchy nuts and raisins and sweet crystallized fruit.
This tasty seasonal treat is traditionally served from Christmas Day on December 25th until the Day of the Kings, or Dia de Reis, on January 6th. Bolo Rei’s perfectly round shape is itself a reference to the biblical Three Kings, the three wise men from the East who traveled by the legendary light of the Star of Bethlehem to the birthplace of Jesus Christ. With its meaningful history, rich taste and mouth-watering aroma, the Bolo Rei, Portuguese King Cake, makes the perfect addition to any holiday meal.
