Reply to comment by kingofmassachusetts in Portuguese Markets in the Boston/Cambridge Area Stocking Brisa? by zepporamone

i was also going to suggest sumol ! my family is portuguese (azorean) and my grandmother would buy them. they have other flavors as well. i'm pretty sure she purchased them from market basket.

I'm pretty sure Sumol is the one that I kept bumping into in Lisbon while briefly hunting for a case of Brisa to bring home. I think I grew to resent it simply for the fact that it wasn't Brisa. That said, I will definitely give it a shot if the Brisa search ends up fruitless.

I'm not typically a soft-drink person but the Portuguese have that stuff figured out.

Sumol is the major Portuguese brand from the continent so you will most likely encounter it around here. Definitely harder to find Brisa/Kima. Definetly check with Portugalia in Fall River like u/b0xturtl3 said. They might be able to point you in the right direction for a Madeiran market as well.

Yeah, don't knock the pineapple and orange Sumol flavors (which are more common/easily found than the maracuja)
