Folar de Chaves is a traditional stuffed bread. It is made with leavened dough that incorporates a hefty amount of eggs, lard or butter, and olive oil. The fillings may vary, but they usually include cured or smoked pork products such as presunto (ham), sliced sausages, or bacon. The bread is traditionally prepared for Easter, but it is also commonly made for other festivities and various special occasions. As it is evident from the name, it originates from Chaves, but nowadays it is popular throughout the country.
