Sweet Bread (Massa Sovada)

Açores

Massa Sovada is a sweet bread baked across all the islands of the Azores.
Traditionally prepared for the festivities of the Holy Spirit, it is now enjoyed year-round.

In Maia, follow the winding streets, guided by the irresistible aroma in the air, and you’ll find your way to Fatita’s oven—Fátima Pereira, a master baker renowned for her exceptional Massa Sovada.”
