Alheira

Alheira is a traditional Portuguese sausage made from a blend of pork and chicken, seasoned with classic Portuguese spices. Rich and flavorful, it is a delicious way to add authentic taste to any meal.

 

Alheira has a unique history: it was created by the Jewish community during the Inquisition to conceal their identity. Made with various meats, bread, and spices, the sausage disguised whether it was kosher, allowing it to be shared safely with neighbors.

 

Today, Alheira remains a Portuguese delicacy, made with traditional methods and enjoyed by people of all backgrounds as a flavorful and historic culinary experience.

 

Ingredients: Pork, salt, paprika, dry red crushed pepper, chicken cube, vegetable fat, chicken fat, onion, and parsley.
