Portuguese cuisine is a prime example of the Mediterranean diet. It uses many common ingredients such as olive oil, tomatoes, onion, garlic and wine. Portuguese dishes are made more interesting because of their emphasis on seafood and the use of ingredients from Portugal's former colonies throughout the world.

Discovered or recognized, as some authors state by Portuguese navigators around 1427, the Azores were populated in the 15th century by pioneers from Portugal, although small groups of Flemings settled on some of the islands. The 16th and 17th centuries made the archipelago one of the anchors of trade between Europe, America and India, and it’s ports sheltered galleons loaded with treasure. Important naval battles were fought in the waters of the Azores in that period, while the islanders were attacked by corsairs and pirates. The following centuries were calmer, but in 1892 the Azores returned to the pages of history, with a major role played by the island of Terceira in the struggle against the absolutist forces and as a base for the liberal forces that invaded the mainland.

The archipelago developed during the 19th and 20th centuries with the introduction of new crops, setting up of modern industries and progress made with stock-breeding and fisheries

The last few years have witnessed a progressive improvement in the economic and social well-being of the population.
