In Apúlia, a place of delicious cooking
The success of a restaurant is undoubtedly linked to the origin of the products that are used in the preparation and cooking of the dishes. But that is not all! Without a skilful, experienced and professional touch, the honesty of the ingredients is not enough.
It is precisely the combination of these factors that we find at the Azeite & Alho Restaurant owned by chef Ivo Loureiro.
The sweet portuguese sweets
The Aveiro ‘ovos moles’ (typical sweet speciality of Aveiro ) has been the first Portuguese product to be awarded PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status by the European Union.
The “Maria da Apresentação da Cruz, Herdeiros “ establishment that was founded in 1882 is said to be if not the oldest manufacturer at least one of those that has been manufacturing the Aveiro ‘ovos moles’ for longer.
Eating to one’s heart’s content
