On this episode of Made In Virginia we are headed to Richmond to see how desert sprinkles are created at Mavalerio, then over to Buz and Ned’s Real BBQ to learn how they smoke Buzz’s world-famous barbecue every day.
From Brazil to Richmond this sweet family owned business manufactures desert ingredients. They started importing their products to the United States in the 1980s and grew the business organically from there. Mavalerio incorporates a unique process for their products that differs from standard sprinkles by using more sugar in the recipe. This gives Mavalerio sprinkles a unique texture and a longer shelf life.
