An Ancestral Recipe that Tastes of Idanha-a-Nova

Geocakes' Borrachões are the flagship of our handcrafted kitchen - a biscuit that has survived generations because its flavour simply isn't up for debate. Made by Chef Raquel Ramos at the Idanha-a-Nova atelier, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, every unit carries the know-how of Beira Baixa: a preserved recipe, ingredients with provenance, an unmistakable texture.

With 19% virgin olive oil, the Borrachões have a personality of their own that sets them apart from any shelf-bought biscuit. The olive oil gives softness and richness. The brandy and wine give them character - that subtle edge that surprises on the first bite and wins you over right after. The cinnamon rounds it all off with an aromatic touch that recalls kitchens of days gone by.

Handmade, from Start to Finish

There are no shortcuts in making Borrachões. The dough is prepared and worked by hand at the Geocakes atelier, without industrial processes or unnecessary additives. Each biscuit passes through the team's hands before going into the oven - and that care is what you taste in the final result.

The ingredients are chosen for what they represent: the virgin olive oil comes from olive trees in the region; the eggs are fresh; the cinnamon is aromatic and balanced in just the right amount. Nothing more, nothing less. The recipe is the same as always - because some things don't improve with substitutes.

The recipe the Naturtejo Geopark knows well

Beira Baixa's honey and virgin olive oil have an old affinity. In Geocakes Honey Broas, each goes in at 13% - and you can taste it. Made in Idanha-a-Nova, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, with fresh eggs (19%), cinnamon and the same wheat flour as always, these broas reach your table exactly as they've always been made: by hand, unhurried, with no shortcuts.

Geocakes Honey Broas follow Idanha-a-Nova's traditional sweet-making recipe book - a town at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO. The recipe has no secrets: 13% regional honey, 13% virgin olive oil, 19% fresh eggs, wheat flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Native ingredients, proportions tested by generations, production made by hand by the Geocakes team.

The result is a broa with that slightly moist inside texture that defines Beira sweet-making - and that you won't find in any industrial production. Honey gives the sweetness. Olive oil gives the depth. Cinnamon rounds it off. As simple as that.

Where Walnut Meets Aniseed - an Aromatic Recipe

Some recipes need no explanation - they just ask to be tasted. Geocakes Walnut Broas reach your table with the finest walnuts and the gentle aroma of aniseed, hand-shaped in Idanha-a-Nova following sweet-making know-how Beira Baixa has kept for generations.

Geocakes Walnut Broas are born from two ingredients the region knows well: walnut, grown inland with an intensity only Beira Baixa's climate produces, and aniseed, which balances and perfumes without overpowering. The recipe belongs to Idanha-a-Nova's sweet-making tradition - a town at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO.

Each broa is hand-shaped by Chef Raquel, who has preserved and passed on regional pastry-making know-how for over 20 years. There are no shortcuts in this process: the dough is worked for as long as it deserves, ingredients are selected from local producers, and the result is that slightly buttery firmness that defines Beira tradition's walnut broas.

How to Enjoy the Walnut Broas

Sturdy and good travellers, they're also a gift with genuine Portuguese soul - for anyone who wants to give something meaningful with guaranteed origin. Available in bulk, by the kilo, to enjoy at your own pace with no waste.

A recipe that has survived generations

Some flavours need no introduction - they need to be tasted. Geocakes' Walnut Broas are proof of that: an ancestral Beira Baixa recipe, hand-shaped by Chef Raquel Ramos in Idanha-a-Nova, the territory of the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO. Each broa holds the right balance between the natural sweetness of walnut, the deep aroma of aniseed and a touch of honey from local apiaries. No shortcuts, no artificial additives - just time, hands and a recipe.

Ingredients with provenance, flavour with identity

The Walnut Broas are made following the principles that have defined Geocakes since 2012: ingredients sourced preferably from short Beira Baixa supply chains, with no artificial flavourings, colourings or unnecessary preservatives. Walnut - present at 5% of the recipe - brings unmistakable texture and flavour. Honey (5%) comes from regional apiaries and sweetens gently. Aniseed, cinnamon and baking soda complete a formula that could have been written in a hundred-year-old recipe book. Because, essentially, it was.

Handmade, one by one

Each broa is individually shaped. It's not a production line - it's a workshop in Idanha-a-Nova where quantity is deliberately limited so as not to compromise the result. This choice has a cost and a reward: the cost is scale; the reward is the consistency of someone who knows exactly what they're doing. The final texture is soft inside, slightly firm outside - the balance a handcrafted broa should have.

From the Naturtejo Geopark to your table

Idanha-a-Nova isn't just Geocakes' address. It's a territory with its own identity, recognised by UNESCO through the Naturtejo Geopark - the first in Portugal. Producing here isn't just a logistical decision; it's a commitment to the territory, to local producers and to preserving a regional gastronomy that deserved to reach further. In that sense, the Walnut Broas are a small ambassador for Beira Baixa.

Why choose these broas

• Preserved ancestral recipe - traditional Beira Baixa formula, unaltered for industrial production
• Trusted regional ingredients - walnut and honey from local producers, preferably from short supply chains
• Handcrafted production, no artificial additives - no colourings, no artificial flavourings, no unnecessary ingredients
• Hand-shaped, one by one - the texture and look of someone who cares about the process from start to finish
• Direct support for Beira Baixa producers - buying Geocakes means supporting a local, sustainable production ecosystem
