Azeite de Dendê is a vegetable oil extracted from the fruit pulp of the African oil palm, widely used in Afro-Brazilian cuisine, especially in the state of Bahia. Known for its deep orange color and bold, earthy flavor, it's a key ingredient in traditional dishes like moqueca, acarajé, and vatapá. Beyond its culinary use, dendê oil holds deep cultural and ancestral significance in Brazilian cooking.
