Speaking
of traditional Portuguese sausage is the same as evoking the "master pig
piggy bank for the poor and his professor of anatomy ', which is king of this
area of knowledge - Bisaro Center and North of Alentejo breed in South. From painstaking creation of the pig result
in overwhelming the wonderful tradition of the centuries was investigating in
our villages, tempered by the hardships of life (the need to surrender and take
advantage of everything), developed with imagination and skill and finally
passed from generation to generation, grandmothers and mothers to daughters and granddaughters.
Make a survey - even if necessarily limited - the products of excellence Portuguese traditional sausage (smoked or air-dried) is a work immeasurably.
Minho to the Algarve, passing the Azores, there are many sausages and hams high quality refined some of them hundreds of years of practice and all indelibly linked to the traditions of our people.

Sabores do Ar e do Fogo
Falar de salsicharia tradicional portuguesa é o mesmo que
evocar o «senhor porco, mealheiro do pobre e seu professor de anatomia», que é
rei desta área de conhecimento – bísaro no Centro e Norte, de raça alentejana
no Sul. Da criação esmerada do suíno resultam em esmagadora maioria as
maravilhas que a tradição de séculos foi apurando nas nossas aldeias,
temperadas pelas agruras da vida (a necessidade de fazer render e de tudo
aproveitar), desenvolvidas com imaginação e perícia e finalmente passadas de
geração em geração, de avós e mães para netas e filhas.
Fazer um levantamento – mesmo que necessariamente
limitado – dos produtos de excelência da salsicharia tradicional lusa (fumados
ou secos ao ar) é um trabalho desmesurado.
Do Minho ao Algarve, passando pelos Açores, são inúmeros
os enchidos e presuntos de grande qualidade alguns deles refinados por centenas
de anos de prática e todos ligados indelevelmente às tradições do nosso povo.
Na escolha dos produtos que originaram estes selos de correio (divididos por
duas séries para melhor abarcar matéria tão vasta) fomos assessorados por José
Quitério, mestre da crítica gastronómica em Portugal, e por Fátima Moura,
escritora e blogger perita nestes temas.
O levantamento fotográfico, todo realizado localmente, é
de Mário Cerdeira.
Introdução do Editor
O Minho
O Minho é todo ele verde e como dizia Torga, «O verde
come o resto do arco-íris… (…) o vinho é verde, o caldo é verde…». E
acrescente-se que em Ponte de Lima até a chouriça de cebola é chamada «de
verde». Em Melgaço, o porco bísaro desfaz-se em sublimes presuntos, também
herdeiros da tradição das zonas montanhosas de Fiães e de Castro Laboreiro, que
fazem jus à sua longeva fama.
