Guided by Egídio Soares and Flausina Soares, the event was held at the Centro de Apoio ao Artesanato and provided participants with the opportunity to learn the preparation techniques for this typical sweet, deeply linked to the island's cultural and gastronomic identity.
More than just a practical activity, the workshop was a moment for valuing and preserving local intangible heritage, allowing knowledge and traditions to be passed down through generations.
It is worth remembering that "espécie", a sweet steeped in history and symbolism, continues to play a relevant role in the culture of São Jorge, thus reinforcing the municipality's importance in its dissemination and safeguarding.
