Off On A Gourmet Voyage Through Portugal

Being a marine country with a long and adventurous history, Portugal offers a handful of culinary treasures and has quite a lot of delicious stories to tell, and most of them come from deep waters of the sea.Portuguese cuisine is renowned for its simple yet sophisticated flavors, use of fresh local ingredients and seafood in particular, and a diverse array of regional specialties reflecting the country’s gorgeous landscapes.

Myriads of flavors are awaiting you in Lisbon, Porto, on the Algarve coast, and in the countryside. Seafood is predictably a staple of Portuguese cuisine. The abundant coastline of Portugal's Atlantic offers a lot of savory dishes like bacalhau (salt cod), grilled sardines, and cataplana de marisco (seafood stew).

Portugal's history of explorations and trade has brought a rich tradition of flavoring food with luxurious spices from all over the world. The iconic Piri Piri Chicken, seasoned with fiery chili peppers is a must try if you fancy consuming something spicy.

Meat dishes are a significant part of the country’s fare. Pork,in particular, is a cornerstone of Portuguese meat tradition and is prepared in so many exquisite ways, including traditional chouriço sausages and dishes like leitão (suckling pig).

But our culinary tour around  Portugal wouldn’t be complete without tasting its cheeses, like rich and creamy sheep's cheese Queijo da Serra and the worldwide known custard tart pastéis de nata.

And, at the end of our journey, we cannot but mention and taste Portugal’s wines, especially the famous Port and Vinho Verde, which perfectly accompanies any of  the country's specialties
