A little history....

In Brazil we call GRIMPA the branches of a special type of pine tree, tha "Araucária", very common in the southern region. The "Gauchos" that live in this region traditionally used these dry branches to start their campfires and prepare the "CHURRASCO" while they were out in the "Pampas" with their cattle. Naturally, meat was the main component of these meals.

These Araucárias also have an interesting mythical story. A famous tale from southern Brazil tells the story of a big blue bird whose favorite food was the Araucária nut, every fall this bird would bury the extra pine nuts to eat later that winter. But many of these nuts were forgotten buried and grew up to become these incredible and tall trees.

The Gauchos of southern brazil are also the inspiration for GRIMPAS's style of service, the "Rodizio". Moving about between the tables with their large sword-like skewers they will offer you a taste of this delicious memory of the Pampas.
