About Farinheira

Farinheira is a traditional Portuguese smoked sausage made primarily from flour, seasonings, pork fat, and occasionally white wine or orange juice for flavor. Originating in Portugal, it is recognized for its soft texture and smoky, slightly tangy taste. Unlike many sausages, Farinheira is unique for its use of flour as a base ingredient rather than meat, giving it its distinctive composition and color. While it is a flavorful addition to dishes such as stews, rice, or baked goods, Farinheira is relatively high in sodium and fat due to the pork fat content and smoking process. It has limited nutritional value and is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Despite this, its rich cultural significance and versatile culinary applications make it a beloved item in Portuguese cuisine.
