Goiabada, a sweet preserve made from guava, arrived in Brazil during the colonial period. Guava trees, originating from tropical America, thrived in the Brazilian climate. The Portuguese colonizers, already familiar with fruit preserves, adapted the recipes to include guava, creating what is now known as Goiabada. The 'Cascão' variety is particularly thick and rustic.
