The smell of bread just out of the oven is one of the first business cards for anyone entering FAGIC, the traditional agricultural festival of Montemor-o-Velho. The secret lies in the bread with chorizo, a delicacy that has become the hallmark of the event.

The Noronha couple, natives of Montemor-o-Velho, are responsible for this tradition that has now lasted 25 years. Over more than two decades, they have been winning over visitors with this recipe that combines the aroma of fresh bread with the intense flavor of chorizo roasted in the oven.
