Centro

The centre of Portugal is proof that virtue (or, in this case, the virtues) is in the middle. From the highest mountain in mainland Portugal to the world’s biggest waves, there is a little bit of everything, without forgetting priceless monumental and human heritage. Schist villages, castles that look like they have emerged from fairy tales, one of the oldest universities in Europe, and even a Portuguese-style Venice.

Products

Pêra Rocha

In cooking, it is especially appreciated for its sweetness, which is why it is usually featured in the dessert section of the menus.

Courgette

It is highly moisturizing, rich in calcium, phosphorus, and iron and has a mild and neutral flavor.

Escolar

The species can be found all over the Portuguese coast and islands.

Velvet crab

This delicacy is found all over the Portuguese coast.

Cuttlefish

Its presence in Portuguese waters is abundant, and the species does not have, to date, any restriction for capture.

Pepper

Peppers originate from Central America, but their freshness, texture, and versatility have taken them worldwide.

Eel (yellow)

Characterized by its serpentiform body, cylindrical in the front and long in the rear, and narrower in the tail area, eels have a wide head with tubed-shaped nasal orifices and small rounded eyes.

Suckling pig

The suckling pig is the unquestioned (but not the only) gastronomic treasure of Bairrada and, alongside the wine, its leading ambassador.

Pea

Peas have been grown for thousands of years.

Mackerel

Its meat is succulent and lends itself to be cooked in a thousand and one ways and also used in preserves.

Almonds

Its use in the kitchen is very varied: from sweet to savory, creativity has no limit!

Serra da Estrela cheese

If you ask any Portuguese person what their favourite cheese is, it is unlikely that Serra da Estrela cheese won’t be their answer.

Tomato

It is tomato season, which populates market stands from June till October.

Rice

In Portugal we like rice. We like it a lot! And we don’t cook it just plain and simple to be eaten as a side dish; we often have it as the main dish.

Sardines

Here they are, the delicious sardines!

Fundão Cherries

The month of May is when we see many good things back on the market stalls: radishes, strawberries, … and if the first thing that came to your mind were the Fundão cherries, you’re one of us!

Monkfish

It is twice as delicious as it is ugly: you can count on our gourmand word for that!
