Handcrafted Farinheira from Beira Baixa | Geocakes

Farinheira is one of the most singular sausages in Portuguese charcuterie. With no meat, made with pork fat, wheat flour, paprika, garlic, bay leaf and salt, it has a soft texture and a spiced flavour that sets it apart from any other sausage. In Beira Baixa, this recipe has come down to today exactly as it always was, and that's how Geocakes brings it to you.

A Recipe True to Its Origins

Made in the Beira Baixa region, within the territory of the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark, this farinheira is selected by Chef Raquel Ramos following the same criteria that guide all of Geocakes' curation: recognisable ingredients, a genuinely handcrafted process, and a flavour that needs no explanation. Paprika and garlic give it its characteristic aromatic profile, bay leaf adds depth, and wheat flour gives it the smooth, unctuous texture that makes farinheira unmistakable.

How to Cook Beira Baixa Farinheira

Farinheira lends itself to several cooking methods:

• Grilled over charcoal or in a pan, with handcrafted bread and regional olive oil
• Boiled, as part of a Portuguese-style cozido alongside other sausages
• In scrambled eggs with green asparagus
