Handcrafted Morcela from Beira Baixa | Geocakes

Morcela is one of the oldest sausages in Portuguese cooking. In Beira Baixa, it has a face of its own: pork meat, blood, garlic, paprika and cumin, in a recipe that has come down from kitchen to kitchen, with no need to justify itself. This is how Geocakes brings it to you, with the authenticity of those who respect what is genuine.

An Ancestral Recipe from Idanha-a-Nova

Made in Beira Baixa, within the territory of the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark, this morcela follows the traditional methods that define this region's charcuterie. The ingredients are simple and direct: selected pork meat, blood, garlic, salt, paprika and cumin. Nothing more, nothing less. It's that restraint that gives it its character. Paprika brings colour and a light warmth, cumin the unmistakable aroma that sets Beira Baixa's morcela apart from any other.
