Everything about Bolo Rei totally explained
Bolo Rei (literally, "King Cake") is a traditional
Portuguese cake, which is usually eaten around
Christmas, from
December 25 until the
Dia dos Reis (literally "Day of Kings", a reference to the
three kings) on January 6th. The cake itself is round with a large hole in the centre, resembling a
crown covered with crystallized and
dried fruit.
The
Bolo Rei is baked from a soft, white dough, with
raisins, various
nuts, and
crystallized fruit. Also included is the characteristic "
fava", tradition dictates that whoever finds the fava has to pay for the
Bolo Rei next year. Initially, a small prize was also included within the cake. However, the inclusion of the prize (usually a small metal toy) was forbidden by the
European Union, citing safety reasons.
