Reclaim the Table.

Four generations have spent seventy years answering one question: what does it mean to make food worth coming home to. The answer never changed.

Finally, a more
elevated experience.

For decades, the grated cheese aisle has been a contest between the same red and green lids. We thought it was time for something different — a properly aged Parmesan, the azulejo tradition on the label, no shortcuts inside.

The DaSilva Shaker is rolling out across the country now. Look for the blue lid.

The Guiding Principle
"How you do anything
is how you do everything."

A family standard, kept four generations.

Our Story

From our table,
to yours.

In 1951, Don Maximiano Barrios Da Costa left Madeira for the Caribbean in search of a better life. He 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.

Four generations have answered the same question: what does it mean to make food worth coming home to. The answer never changed. Neither did the standard.
