Oven-roasted Bísaro Pork Presa with Chestnuts
In October and November, our pigs go to the chestnut groves to eat fallen chestnuts. This is part of the diet that gives Bísaro pork its marbling and flavour. In...
Bísaro's alheira is made with cooked and shredded Bísaro pork, and bread, interspersed with pork fat seasoned with Trás-os-Montes PDO olive oil, bay leaf, garlic, chili, and salt.
A sausage with a creamy texture and comforting flavor, carrying centuries of history of Trás-os-Montes gastronomy.
Grill the alheira and serve with sautéed turnip greens, the traditional combination that never fails. Baked in the oven, with "batata a murro" (punched potatoes), it is equally irresistible.
