From the Amazon to the Netherlands: the journey of Açaí

Açaí has become an indispensable part of Amsterdam. Fresh, creamy, deep purple, and endlessly versatile with fruit, granola, and toppings. But before an açaí bowl lands on your table here, the berry has already made a remarkable journey.

The Origin: The Amazon Rainforest

Açaí grows on palm trees in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. There, the small, dark purple berries are harvested when ripe. It is a product entirely connected to its origin: a tropical landscape of rivers, rainforest, and palm trees.

Because fresh açaí berries have a short shelf life, they are processed quickly after harvesting. The berries are cleaned, processed into pulp, and frozen. This way, their characteristic taste, color, and quality are preserved as much as possible.

A Journey Across the Ocean

From Brazil, the frozen açaí pulp travels to Europe. Everything remains chilled during transport. This constant cold chain is important: it ensures the açaí arrives in the Netherlands as intended — full of flavor, creamy in texture, and ready to be processed.

The journey is vast: from the warm, green Amazon to the streets of Amsterdam. Yet, you can taste that origin in every bowl.
