There is no codfish around Portugal or the Azores. The Portuguese used to sail all the way to Newfoundland and Greenland to catch the codfish. Because the journey was so long, the salted the fish. The Portuguese codfishing around Newfoundland was so huge that they even brought their own hospital ships along to Canada, tp treat wounded and sick fishermen. One of the hospital ships can be seen to this day in Viana do Castelo, in northern Portugal.

American and European milk makers both pasteurize milk before selling it to consumers, but in Europe, the standard is UHT pasteurization, or ultra-high temperature pasteurization. That involves heating raw milk up to around 280 degrees Fahrenheit for a few seconds, killing all bacteria. Therefore making it last months and months of shelf life.

I really don't know why foreigners get surprised with anything related to food in Portugal. Our culinary is one (if not the best) of the best in the world, either in variety and quality.

Easy to understand, Those people come from the area with bad culinary.

Bacalhau is the Portuguese word for dried and salted cod. Fresh cod is referred to as bacalhau fresco. You can soak dried cod in water, wine or other liquid and then cook it. Love it grilled, mixed with cream and spices and whipped into a mousse. It's like a salty cream cheese dip - delicious on toast or raw veggies!

Those prices are hugely expensive! Portuguese wages are so low! Compared to here in France those prices are high and unaffordable. The milk is long life milk.

Not unaffordable but higher than usual as this is in the islands and transport cost adds to it. That said people in the Azores eat well and you can live in a 2 minimum wage household. Ideally you need between 2 to 3k euros per month, to have enough for 1 international trip per year, as it can be boring to always stay in the island.

@@miguelcoelho3877 UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) milk is indeed a form of pasteurization, but it's different from the traditional pasteurization methods used for what is commonly referred to as "fresh" milk. UHT milk is heated to a much higher temperature for a shorter period, which allows it to have a much longer shelf life without refrigeration compared to regular pasteurized milk. So, while it's technically pasteurized, it isn't considered "fresh" in the traditional sense. Fresh milk is usually pasteurized at lower temperatures and needs to be kept refrigerated. The milk in those cartons is UHT, not fresh pasteurized milk. 😊At least in Portugal when you have slow pasteurized milk (or leite fresco) it is described as pasteurized milk in the list of ingredients, different from UHT.

@@minilinlife I know what the acronym UHT stands for, I don't need you to spell it out for my benefit. Or to lecture me about the differences between UHT and "regular" pasteurisation, for that matter! As someone born in Lisbon in the 1950s -- therefore more than a decade before milk started being sold in TetraPak cartons (initially they were triangular, not rectangular, as it is the norm today) and before the new standard in pasteurisation, UHT, had been introduced to the public (if I remember correctly, UHT only became the norm from the 1980s onwards) -- I remember well how milk used to be brought to one's regular household in glass bottles by your local milkman. Not just milk but yoghurt as well, in glass pots. So, you're not telling me anything I didn't know already! However, seeing that I haven't lived in Portugal since the early '80s (not for a full year, that is) I didn't know that one could still buy what you call "slow pasteurized milk (or leite fresco)" in the shops. Other than buying it directly from the farmer, I didn't think shops were allowed to sell milk other than UHT. Live and learn, I guess... Notwithstanding all of this, my initial intention was to correct the absolutely preposterous remark the author of this video had made regarding the milk in that supermarket in the Azores, not to be debating anyone concerning the definition of "UHT". Or how "fresh" that milk is or isn't. Once the milk is within its best-before date it is fresh, as far as I am concerned!

All supermarket milk is an ultra processed food. Real milk separates into milk and cream, but carton milk is pumped through tiny nozzles at massive pressure to destroy the fat droplets. It is also ultra heat treated. I have returned to a holiday home after six months to find a half used carton of milk still like new. It might as well be emulsion paint.

I love that mall! I go back to Sao Miguel next month! It's a shame the Canadian dollar is so weak against the Euro. Things are still cheaper there regardless though.

That milk is pasturised, not dehydrated. You can fins it fresh on the cold dairy area. Also no cod is fished in portuguese waters

Portuguese grocery prices are not shocking. It is US and Canadian prices which are out of line due to the superprofits made by ripoff retailers.

Pasteurization is not dehidration... It's just heating and lowering the temperature fast. Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) pasteurization: uses much higher temperatures varying from 275-302°F for 4-15 seconds.

It's a common practice in Portugal for the supermarkets to have most fresh food from local or close by producers. It's a policy created to circular economy, to reduce cost on distribution and to guarantee more fresh food. Of course, some stuff are not produced around and have to be brought from far places (because big markets are to guarantee equal products in all their locations)
