Portuguese gastronomy is among the tastiest and healthiest in the world. With Mediterranean and Atlantic influences, it is rich and varied just like the landscape and territory. From the sea come unique fish and seafood. Meats with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) can be found from north to south of the country.
Each dish has the right wine for company. We have wines all over the country, and if Porto is famous, the table red wines from the Douro, Alentejo, and so many others have no less distinction.
Olive oil, the hallmark of national gastronomy, is awarded every year. Fruits and vegetables are a regular presence in the national diet. The sweets
and cheeses are to the heavens, in a good way, of course. Michelin stars are not lacking for the renowned chefs who make magic with the best ingredients and present us with the exclusivity of their proposals.
At the end, we toast with a Port or a Madeira, the fortified wines that for centuries have represented us in faraway places. Or we can toast with an excellent sparkling wine produced in Portugal, thus marking a memorable meal.
In short, there are more than many reasons to taste these true delicacies of the gods.
