Evidence: Established through use, particularly due to its special taste characteristics.

Method of production: The Beira goat is obtained from animals of the Charnequeira or Serrana breed.

Link: The edaphological-climatic conditions of this region produce spontaneous pastures which give the goat meat special characteristics.

Gastronomy: IGP Cabrito da Beira must be stored at a temperature of 7°C, or between -18°C and -20°C if it is frozen. Once bought the meat can only be kept a few days in the fridge. In the Beiras area there are many recipes based on IGP Cabrito da Beira, among the best known are cabrito assado o frito, cabrito estonado or the famous chanfana which, however, is sometimes made with older goat meat.
