The origin of Carreteiro: Its history as goods, supplies and miscellaneous items transported in a oxcart across Southern Brazil. The cart carried not only the driver & family memories but also food that helped in a healthy way to overcome the long distances that were to come. In his bag there was ever present beef jerky – a salt-preserved meat which was dried in the wind – protein that could be preserved without refrigeration. That’s how the “Arroz Carreteiro” (the oxcart driver’s rice) was the created: a mixture of rice, beef jerky and onions prepared in an iron pot in one of the many stops that the driver would have to do. This dish is known as one of the most traditional Gaucho (Gaucho means "who is born in Rio Grande Do Sul") cuisine today and is enjoyed by many throughout Brazil.
