Leitão boa Vista (Boa Vista Suckling Pig) dates back to the beginning of the last century and to festive times, when it was customary to roast suckling pigs in traditional wood-fired ovens, where bread and cornbread were regularly baked.
From festive tradition to industrialization was a small step, since, at that time, the fastest route from Lisbon to Porto passed through the town, and people stopped there to refuel and satisfy their hunger, with Boa Vista Suckling Pig being the main attraction.
With crispy skin and tender, succulent meat, produced and roasted in the region, today Boa Vista Suckling Pig is appreciated throughout the country, and anyone passing through knows they have to stop.
You can find Boa Vista Suckling Pig in participating restaurants, all of which are clearly identified.
