About this deal

The Santa Helena factory was founded in 1942 by his grandfather, José Marques Telles, and has been in the family ever since. Renato was working in the administrative section of the company when the idea for the new product came out. “At first, it was just for ourselves. We used a little hammer to press the ground peanuts and the sugar together and mold it in the shape of a cork.”

Paçoquita Sweet Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pie

Paçoca in its present form was invented during the Colonial Brazil Period, but Native Brazilian peoples had recipes that mixed cassava flour with other ingredients prior to colonization. Those recipes were modified by the settlers, creating the current combination that uses sugar. [1] Name and relationship to the savory dish [ edit ] The candy tasted so good, they decided to test the public’s response to it. This was the beginning of what became a beloved treat all over Brazil: Paçoquita. In 1986, after some initial improvements, the product officially entered the market and became an immediate success. Paçoquita has a very strong brand built over the years by its pioneering, by its quality and taste, and our efficient communication”, says Renato. There are more than 300 brands offering a similar product in the country, but none is a close competitor. The name "paçoca" comes from the Tupi word "posok" (pronounced /pɔsɔk/) which means "to crumble" or "to shatter," and is shared with the salty Paçoca dish. Both are a mix of cassava flour with other ingredients: peanut and sugar in the case of the sweet, and carne-de-sol ( sun-dried-beef) for the salty dish. Both dishes seem to have originated from the same Native Brazilian customs, but have grown to be completely different products.Today, Paçoquita is the company’s main product – over 1 million units are sold every day. The Paçoquita family got diversified, offering options with oats, whey protein, and zero sugar. All other company’s products together correspond to 10% of the candy’s production.
