Azedo de Vinhais PGI is a smoked sausage made from the meat and fat of Bísaro pigs (or pigs with 50% Bísaro blood), regional wheat bread, Trás-os-Montes olive oil, paprika, and garlic, stuffed into large intestine casings.
Production Method
The meats are cooked in salted water and shredded while still hot. The thinly sliced bread is softened with the cooking broth. The seasonings, shredded meats, olive oil, paprika, and garlic are added, followed by stuffing and slow smoking with oak and/or chestnut wood, which traditionally lasts over four weeks.
Recipe Suggestion
Serve Azedo de Vinhais with sautéed turnip greens, a rustic and flavourful combination.
