📜 Historical Lore

Chanfana is the feast of old souls. Born in Portuguese monasteries and mountain homes, it was crafted from the oldest goats — those too strong and too wild for younger recipes. Slow wine alchemy transforms the toughness into silk. It is food for slow wisdom, eaten in deep communion, during festivals of remembrance or family rites. To eat Chanfana is to commune with the ancestors.
