Product history: "Leonor das Alhadas" or "Leonor dos Bolos"! The fame of this baker remains as much today as it was yesterday, although Mrs. Catarina Leonor Lopes Silva has already disappeared. It is from the hands of his niece, Maria do Céu Oliveira and half a dozen collaborators that the breads, cakes and olive oil doughnuts that put Alhadas in the mouths of those who are interested in and appreciate the genuine flavors continue to come out. Maria do Céu insists on the formula started in that house more than half a century ago. So she keeps the know-how of this recipe a secret, the recipe passes from parents to children because that is the tradition, Maria do Céu tells us.

Product availability (in extinction, continuous supply, recovery): Continuous supply but production is limited as it is completely artisanal.
