Sweet of conventual origin, whose dough is obtained from the combination of water and flour and whose creamy filling results from the mixture of yolk and egg with sugar syrup. It comes in the form of a stick or half-moon, or miniatures, sprinkled or not with powdered or granulated sugar and cinnamon (this is only used in the half-moon shape). The puff pastry is thin, almost transparent, golden brown in color, with darker ridges. The filling is brownish-yellow, has a flavor of egg, sugar and cinnamon and melts in the mouth.
Bola doce Mirandesa/Bolha doce Mirandesa (conforme é designada em língua Mirandesa), é um produto de panificação, doce, com intenso sabor a canela. Tem forma rectangular, sendo a apresentação característica constituída por 7 camadas de massa de pão, enriquecida com azeite, manteiga e ovos. As camadas de massa de pão são intercaladas com camadas de açúcar e canela. A primeira camada de massa de pão, que é colocada no fundo da forma, é de maior dimensão do que as restantes, sendo usada no final para ladear e unir as outras camadas, fazendo um bordo enrolado (cordão imperfeito) com a última camada. O aspecto rústico, característico da Bola Doce Mirandesa/Bolha doce Mirandesa, esconde uma massa surpreendentemente fofa e húmida, graças ao recheio de açúcar e canela.

Very succulent, fine-grained meat obtained from Alentejana breed pigs, slaughtered between 8 and 14 months old, registered in the Birth Book and children of father and mother registered in the Portuguese Herd Book of Pigs – Alentejo breed section. The color varies from pale pink to dark pink, depending on the animal's age, with shiny, firm, non-exudative fat, although sometimes excessive on the surface of the carcasses and white in color. Extraordinarily tasty meat, resulting from the animal's diet based on acorns and grass, freely grazed in the cork oak and holm oak forests of the Alentejo and surrounding regions.
