This wonderful Lisbon produce shop has a dizzying array of locally sourced cured meat/ sausages, aged jamon, cheeses, wines and liqeuers. We normally travel with a half empty suitcase which we invariably fill with local foods as gifts for friends and family (and for our own consumption too of course). Manteigaria Silva offered itself as the perfect one stop shop to do just that.
The service staff spoke decent English and were very helpful, offering different samples of aged jamon and judging from our responses, offered their thoughtful suggestions. There were a couple of standing tables outside the shop under the awning for customers to tuck into their recent purchases if they so wished.
A better option would be to head down to the Time Out Market near the waterfront where MS has a shop. Serving sizes there were generous and perfect for sharing among a small group. Their platter included a fig jam, almonds and a couple of pineapple wedges that truly enhanced the taste of both the jamon and cheese!
