Wholesome & Outstanding
No trims. No fillers.In 1951, Don Maximiano Barrios Da Costa left Madeira for the Caribbean in search of a better life. He settled in Venezuela, opened a small spot serving grilled meats cooked over half-drum BBQs — and built something that would outlast him by generations.
Today, DaSilva Foods carries that same ethic into every grocery aisle. Food that feels honest before the first bite. Prepared the way we would at home: with care, clarity, and pride. No shortcuts. No compromises.
"How you do anything is how you do everything."
The DaSilva Family Guiding Principle
Every product carries the same promise: real ingredients, transparent recipes, and the kind of care that goes into cooking for the people you love.
70% beef, 30% pork. Whole cuts only — no trims, no fillers. Slow-smoked the way it's been done in the family since the first grill was lit in Maracaibo.
Featured ProductThink of them as savory sweet corn pancakes — a Venezuelan staple made the way families have been making them for generations. Simple, honest, and deeply satisfying.
SpecialtySoft, mildly briny, and unmistakably Venezuelan. A fresh cheese that melts beautifully on cachapas or holds its own beside grilled meats.
Artisan DairyHand-shaped the traditional way — elastic, fresh, and with a clean flavor that comes from four generations of artisan dairy craft.
Artisan DairyIt holds its shape on the grill. It crisps at the edges and stays firm at the center. It tastes exactly the way grilling cheese should — because it was made for exactly this.
Grill ReadyFresh, mild, and clean. A workhorse at the table — equally at home crumbled over beans, sliced for a sandwich, or served alongside our sausages.

Every label tells you exactly what's inside and why it matters. We say what we mean, directly, without softening or embellishing.
Craft shows in the decision to do something the right way when the easier way was available. We've made that choice, without exception, for over seventy years.
We honor where we came from by carrying those standards forward into every new context — Madeira, Maracaibo, and every table in between.
Whole cuts of meat. Clean dairy. No trims, no fillers, no shortcuts. The same ingredients we'd use cooking at home — nothing more, nothing less.
Real flavor doesn't need a story. It needs good ingredients and the people who know what to do with them.
