Cabrito Transmontano

This meat is taken from Serrana goats raised in the districts of Vila Real and Bragança. These animals graze on wild meadow grasses, herbs, and trees such as poplar, ash, and elm. This special diet contributes to the unique flavor of this meat. Serrana goats are also known for the quality of their milk, which is used in the production of the special Cabra Transmontano cheese. Cabrito Transmontano meat has a very low fat content, and yet it remains tender and succulent when cooked.

It is a pale to bright pink in color, and has a unique and distinctive aroma. This meat is usually roasted in wood-fired ovens or incorporated into various stews, where it is often paired with Arroz de serrabulho rice.
