Authentic flavors that tell the story of our land
Seasonal and traditional dish, prepared with lamprey caught in the Mondego River. Prepared in various ways, the best known being "à bordalesa" (with lamprey rice), it is characterized by a strong flavor and a peculiar texture, valued for its deep connection to the river's fishing seasons and riverside culture.
A specialty that reflects the richness of local forests. This creamy rice is prepared with míscaros (wild mushrooms) gathered in the region, giving it an earthy aroma and a unique flavor, deeply linked to the harvest season and the rural traditions of the municipality.
A robust and traditional stew, made with goat meat slowly cooked in red wine, usually from Baga grapes from the region, and seasonings. Prepared in black clay pots, its prolonged cooking results in tender and flavorful meat, a pillar of the gastronomy of the central region.
A traditional sweet bread, often associated with the Easter season, but found at other times. It is distinguished by its light and fluffy dough, sometimes enriched with boiled eggs or lightly flavored, being a symbol of the sweetness and local celebrations of the municipality.
