Angra, como escala obrigatória no retorno dos diversos ultramares à Europa, testemunha a primeira globalização e a universalidade das trocas entre as grandes civilizações do Mundo, sendo a sua zona central classificada de Património Mundial.

Wines
In the wine-growing region of Biscoitos, on Terceira Island, producing wine means facing the sea, the salty air, and the wind. To harness the heat of the sun on the black basalt, the vines are buried in small square enclosures. The verdelho wine produced here evokes the era of sailing voyages and carries the taste of sea breezes. Despite being a white wine, it stubbornly pairs best with meat and bold flavors. The production is labor-intensive and limited, but it includes table wines, fortified varieties, and aged vintages.

Ilha Terceira

Alcatra

Um dos pratos mais emblemáticos da gastronomia açoriana. Cozinhada lentamente em alguidar de barro, esta carne suculenta é temperada com vinho, alho, louro e especiarias, resultando num molho rico e aromático. Servida tradicionalmente com pão ou massa sovada, é um prato que traduz a essência dos sabores da Ilha Terceira e a herança das suas tradições.

Boca Negra

Peixe de águas profundas, muito apreciado pela sua carne branca, tenra e suculenta, com um sabor suave e levemente adocicado. Normalmente servido frito ou grelhado, realçando a sua frescura e textura delicada. Com um simples toque de limão e azeite, transforma-se num prato irresistível que celebra os melhores sabores do mar.

Lapas e Cracas

As lapas, grelhadas e regadas com manteiga de alho, malagueta da terra e limão, são um petisco irresistível, enquanto as cracas, servidas ao natural, transportam no paladar a essência pura do oceano. Estas iguarias únicas são um convite a uma verdadeira experiência marítima, apreciadas pela sua textura e sabor intensos.

Queijos

Variados desde frescos a curados, de textura rica e sabor marcante, os queijos da Ilha Terceira são o reflexo da tradição e da qualidade do leite dos Açores.

Bolo Dona Amélia

Uma verdadeira relíquia da doçaria açoriana, criado em honra da visita da Rainha Dona Amélia à Ilha Terceira em 1901. Feito com mel de cana, especiarias e uvas passa, combina sabores intensos e uma textura macia que remete às tradições conventuais. Uma experiência única que traduz a riqueza e a história gastronómica dos Açores

Conde da Praia

Rico, cremoso e com um toque de requinte, este pudim destaca-se pela sua textura aveludada e sabor delicadamente caramelizado. Inspirado nas receitas conventuais, é um doce que encanta gerações e mantém viva a tradição gastronómica da região.

Vinhos

Na zona vinhateira dos Biscoitos, na ilha Terceira, para ter vinho, é preciso enfrentar o mar, a ressalga e o vento. Para aproveitar o calor do Sol no basalto negro, enterram-se as vides em pequenas quadrículas. O verdelho que aqui se produz recorda os tempos das navegações à vela e sabe a maresia. Apesar de ser branco, é teimoso e prefere acompanhar carne e sabores fortes. A produção é custosa e não é grande, mas há de mesa, fortificados e velhos.
