CARNE DE PORCO ALENTEJANO - DOP

Very succulent, fine-grained meat obtained from Alentejana breed pigs, slaughtered between 8 and 14 months old, registered in the Birth Book and children of father and mother registered in the Portuguese Herd Book of Pigs – Alentejo breed section. The color varies from pale pink to dark pink, depending on the animal's age, with shiny, firm, non-exudative fat, although sometimes excessive on the surface of the carcasses and white in color. Extraordinarily tasty meat, resulting from the animal's diet based on acorns and grass, freely grazed in the cork oak and holm oak forests of the Alentejo and surrounding regions.

CARNE MIRANDESA - DOP

Very tasty and succulent meat, with a firm consistency and slightly moist, obtained from animals of the Mirandesa Breed raised in its original manor. The color ranges from light pink to light red, with white fat evenly distributed, with moderate intramuscular distribution in the steer. The muscle is fine-grained, with a firm, slightly moist consistency. It comes from Mirandesa breed cattle that have great bulk, with a brown color that darkens towards the ends. On the head, the protruding mottle stands out, covered with a tuft of golden hairs. Two parts of these carcasses that are protected by the Denomination of Origin have a particular reputation: the Posta and the Rodião, which can only be designated as “Mirandeses” if all legal rules and requirements are complied with.
