My mother taught me how to bake since I was a little girl. At the age of 7, I witnessed cheerfully as my mother started her small bread company from our home kitchen. In 2003, we started our restaurant and bake shop in Southern Brazil. In 2023 - as a mother of 3 facing a drastic career downturn - I realized the importance of quality time shared with family. For that reason, together with my family, we bring HUGZ to life; consolidating years of operations expertise, a lifetime of baking lessons, and most importantly, faith in God. This is how we make nutritious and absolutely delicious snacks and breads for the entire family to enjoy! - Amanda Wuerz
