Novos Olhares

Penela also means endogenous products, and the
olive oil from the Serra de Sicó is an important
leverage for other products of the region. The
olive oil from the Sicó Mountains accompanies
the gastronomic traditions of the sub-region: Sicó
kid and lamb, traditional sweets, “lagaradas” with
codfish and potatoes roasted in the olive press,
watered with olive oil at the time of its manufacture,
and is also essential for the preservation of sausages,
in clay pots, as well as for Rabaçal cheese.
