Folar de Valpaços

This traditional Portuguese Easter bread consists of flour, eggs, and local Trás-os-Montes olive oil. It is traditionally filled with various pork products such as pork meat, bacon, sausages, ham, or shredded pork shoulder. Folar was first mentioned in print in 1959, and in 2016 it has been awarded the Protected Geographical Indication status by the European Commission. Though it is traditionally associated with Easter, this delicacy is also commonly enjoyed on various special occasions.
