In 2015, we started preaching the flavor of what would become the best pregos doberço. Some say that we turn the beak to the nail, but in fact it was quite the opposite, our nail is the one that turns the beak, that is, the water to the beak. We hammered around the world and went to get the best cheeses from different regions and countries to nail to our recipe, that’s why they say it’s special. As for the location, there is no mistake, both preaches are side by side.
