The Oliveira family has been selling farturas in the city of Viseu for 82 years, remaining a historical tradition in the region. The person in charge of the business is known as the "lord of farturas" and represents a reference in the making of this traditional Portuguese confectionery.

The article mentions that, according to this family, without the farturas, one removes "a bit of the soul of the Fair," highlighting the cultural and symbolic importance of this delicacy for local identity.

The recipe used by the Oliveira family for the production of farturas has remained, according to their guarantee, "completely the same" since the activity began, thus preserving the tradition for over eight decades.
