Porco Sanzé
A Casa do Porco's legendary house classic — heritage pork slow-roasted for six hours until impossibly tender, with crackling skin and rich, succulent meat. Chef Rueda raises his own Brazilian pigs on the family farm, and this dish is the ultimate expression of his nose-to-tail, farm-to-table philosophy.
Cultural Significance
This dish revolutionized Brazilian cuisine by proving that pork — often overlooked in fine dining — could be the star of a world-class restaurant. A Casa do Porco's democratic pricing makes Michelin-quality cuisine accessible, embodying São Paulo's vibrant, inclusive food culture.
Key Ingredients
Preparation Method
The whole heritage pig is rubbed with a proprietary Brazilian spice blend, then slow-roasted for 6 hours at carefully controlled low temperature. The result is meat that practically melts, with perfectly crispy crackling. Served family-style with farm vegetables and house-made sauces.
