OH! MY COD WINS THE GASTRONOMIC AWARD
Oh! My Cod Food & Cultural Tours was one of the winners of the sixth edition of the National Tourism Award, an initiative Expresso/BPI, which distinguished five projects in the categories of Authentic, Gastronomic, Inclusive, Innovative and Sustainable Tourism.
We are very proud and honored by this award. This prize shows an important sensibility from the Turismo de Portugal and the juris, towards a 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺, that is co-constructed with travelers, created with the local communities with a sense of context, critical thinking and centered on human and meaningful encounters.
Oh! My Cod, works with gastronomy in an eclectic and holistic approach, as a medium to narrate several voices, cultures, generations and different perspectives – namely the subversive ones – through immersive experiences and human encounters, where we all become cultural narrators.
MANIFESTO
The first way to get to know our country is through its food. The second, is to join us!
I was inspired to merge my academic in Transcultural Psychology and Cultural Anthropology, my love for Portugal & food with a conscious travel mindset, to create impactful & meaningful experiences. Since 2016, we support local communities and connect travelers with social & cultural subjects, in a fun, ‘foodie’, & informative way.
Delicious food with locals, it’s the best medium to discover a country, go deep into contemporary culture and cross several layers of history.
Our model of Slow Food Travel and food experiences is made up of meetings and exchanges in small-group food and cultural experiences. Food tours, meetings with farmers, winegrowers, or cheesemakers, cooking classes, food trips, you choose!
Experience options suitable for vegetarians, gluten-free foodies, pescatarians, lactose intolerant, and keto diet travelers.
Experiences grounded on notions of transcultural cuisine and glocal, supported by critical thinking which we apply to our personal experiences but also to history and culture.
Food, as the gateway to local and global history, as the way to express counter narratives, power relations, social changes, migrations and even gender roles.
BIG GROUPS
Who said a big group can’t have an intimate, fun, authentic, and immersive food and cultural experience? With us, they now can!
Our secret relies on how carefully these experiences are curated, the quality and dedication of each service and partners (cooks, wine experts, boat service, professional fado singers, the Oh! My Cod Food & Cultural hosts).
All these factors allow that any detail counts – even the smaller ones – and that every person is seen, listened to, guided and truly hosted by each of the Oh! My Cod Food and Cultural local experts.
