THE STORY

At the table

Bolos de Sertã are part of the traditional home cooking of Flores Island. Rather than being baked in an oven, the dough is cooked directly on a heated sertã, a type of griddle or frying pan. This simple preparation reflects the resourceful rural cuisine of the island and was traditionally served as an accompaniment to everyday meals.
