Aloha Pickles has partnered with Punalu'u (Coral Spring Dive)Bakery to share amazing Hawaiian Sweetbread and other bakery specialties. What One Loaf can bring to a Ohana (Famiglia, Family) Introduced to Hawaii by Portuguese sugar workers during the 19th century, sweetbread has become a time-honored favorite among residents and visitors alike. Punal... u'u's delicately sweet and moist Hawaiian sweetbread at Punaluu Bake Shop originated from a traditional family recipe. When the recipe was adapted and prepared at a resort restaurant in Punaluu (Kau District on the Big Island of Hawaii) in the 1970s, the sweetbread was an instant hit. To keep visitors and kama'aina supplied with this popular favorite, the Punaluu Bake Shop was opened in 1991.
