Handcrafted Alheira from Beira Baixa | Salsibeira | Geocakes

There are alheiras, and there's Beira Baixa's alheira. The difference isn't just in the flavour, it's in the process, the ingredients and the hands that make it. Made by Salsibeira with recipes passed down through generations, this handcrafted alheira reaches your table with all the authenticity of a sausage that respects the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark territory.

A Recipe That Has Survived Time

Made with pork and poultry meat, wheat bread, garlic, olive oil and piri-piri, with no artificial preservatives, this alheira is the result of a rigorous handcrafted process that isn't rushed. The ingredients come from local short supply chains, guaranteeing freshness and reducing the environmental footprint. The result is a sausage with a succulent texture, an enveloping aroma and a flavour recognised as genuine from the very first bite.

It's the favourite alheira among the chefs who work with Geocakes, with over 40 years of combined experience among them. A choice that isn't explained, it's tasted.

How to Cook Beira Baixa Alheira

Versatile like the regional cooking that inspired it, it adapts to several cooking methods:

• Oven-baked with sweet potato and turnip greens, Beira Baixa's most traditional way
• Grilled over charcoal, with olive oil and lemon
• Pan-fried with a fried egg and matchstick fries, a classic Portuguese cooking combination
• In migas with cabbage and regional olive oil

Salsibeira produces at the heart of the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark territory, where Beira Baixa's charcuterie tradition has stayed alive for generations.
