Saint John's Day in Porto<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Saint John's Day in Porto dates back more than 700 years, and its celebration rituals were slightly different from those we know today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival, which originated in the 14th century, was a pagan festival of worship to the Sun God and celebration of the harvest and its abundance. A few years later, the Catholic Church Christianized the festival, in honor of St. John, its patron saint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the days of pagan cults, buying whole leeks (with their blossoms) was part of the ritual of hanging them on the main wall of the house to attract good luck. They remained there all year round, until the inhabitants replaced them the following year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the night of June 23rd to 24th<\/a>At the beginning of the year, families went out on foot to Fontainhas to see the Saint Jean waterfall. On the way, they took the opportunity to buy the famous leeks from the farmers, as well as other symbolic plants such as small pots of basil, and bouquets of citronella and carnations.<\/p>\n\n\n

Aromatic herbs <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aromatic herbs took on a special importance at this festival. Both for their health-giving virtues and for the powers the people attributed to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origins of Porto salt <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Port salt<\/a> was born of our love for the feast of Saint John (S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o). We've taken the basics of the herbs used during the feast - manjeric\u00e3o and lemon. Mixed with Aveiro salt, it forms a magical alliance that will seduce your taste buds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Porto salt is the ideal accompaniment to fish and salads. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
