Prisca Moira Smoked Sausage (200g)

Chouriço Moira Casa da Prisca

Embark on a profound gastronomic journey into the heart of regional Portuguese tradition with Prisca Moira. Produced in Trancoso by Casa da Prisca—a family legacy spanning over four generations—this traditional sausage (Chouriço Mouro or Moira) is crafted specifically for culinary enthusiasts who appreciate deep, complex, and uncompromised flavors.

What sets the Moira apart is its distinct, time-honored recipe. Premium pieces of pork are slowly macerated and mixed with an intimate marinade of local red wine, crushed garlic, onion, laurel (bay leaf), and a touch of traditional blood seasoning. Cured and lightly smoked to perfection, it delivers an intensely earthy, warm, and highly savory profile that adds an incredible foundation to classic comfort dishes.

Key Features & Benefits

• Time-Honored Alchemist Recipe: Seasoned using a highly authentic blend of red wine, garlic, onion, and blood, creating a unique savoury depth that regular chorizo cannot match.
• Rich, Wood-Smoked Profile: Naturally cured and smoked over selected woods to lock in an aromatic, rustic warmth that blooms beautifully when cooked.
• Versatile Culinary Enhancer: Acts as a powerful flavor bomb in slow-cooked stews, imparting a velvet richness, dark rustic color, and incredible savoriness to broths.
• Four Generations of Excellence: Proudly manufactured in Portugal by Casa da Prisca, adhering to strict traditional methods and premium quality meat selections.

Traditional Ways to Savour It

• The Ultimate Cozido à Portuguesa: Slice and simmer the Moira alongside cabbage, potatoes, beans, and other cured meats to construct the definitive Portuguese boiled dinner.
• Feijoada Transmontana: Cut into thick rounds and add it to a bubbling pot of red bean stew. As it renders down, it releases an unmatched thickness and woody aroma into the sauce.
• Flame-Roasted Flamejante: For an unforgettable appetizer, slice the sausage partially, place it over a clay roaster (Assador de Chouriço), pour traditional Portuguese firewater (Aguardente) beneath it, and light it to roast the casing until beautifully charred and crispy.
