Products used
Raspberry
The fruit of the raspberry tree is delicious when eaten raw and natural, but it also lends itself to a series of recipes: sweet or savory, anything goes!
Small, fresh, colourful, aromatic and very tasty; there is no lack of adjectives for qualifying the raspberry. The fruit of the raspberry tree (a tree native to Europe and North Asia) is delicious when eaten raw and natural, but it also lends itself to a series of recipes: sweet or savory, anything goes! Did you know that the delicate and juicy berries need at least 700 hours per year of exposure to temperatures below 7ºC?
Regions
Oporto and North
In 200 BC, when it was called Portus Cale, the city that gave Portugal its name became the Portucalense County’s capital; Porto is the country’s second-most populous city. Classified as Cultural Heritage of Humanity, its historical centre offers endless opportunities to taste authentic northern gastronomy – from tripe to world-famous Port wine -, while enjoying a magnificent view of the Douro river.
