Alheira de Baião
The tradition of preserving pork in the Tâmega e Sousa region of Portugal is ancient, and Alheira de Baião stands as one of its most celebrated expressions. Mountain air and traditional curing techniques — salt, paprika, garlic and local herbs — give it its signature character. Family recipes passed down through generations ensure the craft remains tied to its community and landscape. Sliced thin with local bread and wine, it is the most direct taste of Tâmega e Sousa's culinary heritage.
