If you think Portugal is only famous for wine and port, you’re missing the bigger story. In 60 seconds: world-class cheese, top-tier olive oil, half the world’s cork, and a growing reputation in renewable energy tech. Portugal isn’t just a place to sip port and sample pastel de nada—it’s a place that builds, produces, and exports.
And about that award-winning cheese: here’s a link for more info: https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2024-11-18/and-the-best-cheese-in-the-world-is-from-portugal/93621

Obrigado por repararem nisso… O que, sendo um pouco triste e egoísta, mas o facto de não exportarmos muitos enchidos e neste caso queijos, os portugueses conseguem fazer destes ingredientes boas companhias numa mesa á portuguesa 🙏❤️🇵🇹❤️🙏
Didn’t even know it made wine , I assumed it was a place English people buy land to be self sufficient going on YouTube
