Nely and her mother transform simple ingredients into delicious, aromatic breads
In the town of Furna, on the island of Brava, lives Nely, a hard-working young woman who, together with her mother, embodies the essence of traditional Cape Verdean cuisine. The two of them dedicate themselves passionately to the art of baking in their bakery, affectionately named "Sol Nascente" (Rising Sun).
Every day, at the crack of dawn, Nely and her mother transform simple ingredients into delicious, aromatic loaves that reach the tables of the local community. The flour comes to life under their expert hands, and the oven gives each batch a unique and unmistakable flavor.
But Nely's journey is not limited to the walls of the bakery. As evening falls, she embarks on a new adventure, taking the fruits of her labor with her to bustling Nova Sintra. With a basket full of freshly baked bread, Nely travels the roads of the town, offering the authentic taste of Furna to the residents and visitors of Brava's main population center.
The dedication of Nely and her mother is an example of female entrepreneurship and love of tradition. The Sol Nascente Bakery is not just a business, but a meeting point for flavors and stories, where each loaf carries with it the human warmth and morabeza of Ilha Brava. Nely, with her contagious energy and irresistible breads, is a true ray of sunshine that illuminates the palate of Nova Sintra.
