The "Barroco do Boieco" Hamper celebrates Beira Baixa's gastronomic richness through a careful selection of handcrafted and organic products from the region. This hamper takes its name from a geosite, the Barroco do Boieco - a giant granite boulder, formed from magma generated deep within the Earth. Millions of years of erosion have rounded and shaped this giant boulder that we see today at the foot of the Escarpa do Ponsul. This hamper brings together authentic flavours from local producers, from Quinta dos Termos wines to Quinta do Capilé sheep cheese, presented in an elegant wooden basket.

Authentic Flavours from Beira Baixa

This gastronomic hamper represents a sensory journey through Beira Baixa's traditional flavours, a UNESCO territory recognised for its geological diversity and gastronomic richness. Each product was carefully selected from local producers who preserve ancestral techniques and value the region's native resources.

Key Features

• Certified organic and handcrafted products
• Short supply chains with local producers
• Reusable wooden basket included
• Inspired by the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark
• Unique flavours from Beira Baixa

Traditional Idanha-a-Nova Adufe, in a Decorative Version

This handcrafted wooden Adufe, with a built-in magnet, is a faithful representation of the musical instrument that has accompanied Beira Baixa's folk songs and dances for centuries. More than a decorative object, it's a small tribute to Idanha-a-Nova's cultural identity, designed to decorate fridges, doors or metal furniture with meaning.

A Tribute to Beira Baixa's Folk Music

The Adufe is one of the most emblematic percussion instruments in traditional Portuguese music, found mainly in inland Portugal, where folk groups and cultural festivals keep its sound alive. This wooden piece evokes that tradition, made using handcrafted techniques passed down through generations.

Idanha-a-Nova: A Land of History and Tradition

Founded in 1187 by order of Gualdim Pais, Idanha-a-Nova carries with it centuries of Templar history. The town received its Royal Charter from D. Sancho I in 1206, and its walls and traditions still echo with the ancient celebrations where the Adufe set the rhythm of community life.

Key Features

• Territorial authenticity from Beira Baixa
• A decorative piece with magnetic function, ready to use
• Compact dimensions: 9 x 7 cm
• Genuine traditional Portuguese craftwork
• A cultural symbol of Idanha-a-Nova, unique as a gift or keepsake

Use and Care

This Adufe is not a toy: it is a purely decorative piece, designed for display on metal surfaces thanks to its built-in magnet. To keep its beauty over time, clean only with a dry cloth, without water or cleaning products.

Marafona Grande, Ancestral Tradition from Monsanto

The Marafona Grande is a handcrafted rag doll embodying centuries of tradition from the historic village of Monsanto. Dressed in a colourful regional costume, this one-of-a-kind piece features a wooden cross frame wrapped in fabric, a process that reflects Beira Baixa's genuine know-how.

Handmade and One of a Kind

Each marafona is made entirely by hand, which guarantees that no two pieces are exactly alike. The colours of the costume are chosen at random, offering a chromatic surprise that celebrates the diversity of the regional tradition. By buying a Marafona Grande, you're taking home a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

Symbolism and Cultural Meaning

This traditional Portuguese doll is deeply linked to the fertility cult and to rituals of family protection. According to tradition, young women of marrying age would place marafonas on the bed to protect the home from storms and the evil eye. On the wedding day, they were kept under the bed, taking advantage of the fact that they have no eyes, ears or mouth, to attract fertility and marital happiness.

Key Features

• Preserves centuries-old traditions from Monsanto
• A unique, authentic handcrafted piece, colours assigned at random
• A symbol of protection and fertility in Portuguese popular culture
• Dimensions: 10 x 10 cm
• Handmade with traditional materials: wood and fabric

Use and Care

The Marafona Grande is not a toy: it is a purely decorative piece, meant to be displayed at home as a symbol of tradition and protection. To keep its beauty over time, clean only with a dry cloth, without water or cleaning products.

A recipe with proportions you can feel

Chocolate and walnuts have an affinity that needs no introduction. In Geocakes' Chocolate and Walnut Cookies, the proportion is stated plainly: 17% walnuts and 11% chocolate, in a dough with no added salt that lets each ingredient speak for itself. Handmade in Idanha-a-Nova by Chefs Raquel and Mário Rui Ramos - with fresh eggs (33%) giving that melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Geocakes' Chocolate and Walnut Cookies don't hide what makes them. The 33% fresh eggs build a rich dough that melts without falling apart - that texture that sets a handcrafted cookie apart from any mass-produced biscuit. Walnuts from Beira Baixa, with the aromatic intensity that inland Portugal produces, and chocolate complete a recipe developed by Chefs Raquel and Mário Rui Ramos with over 40 years of dedication to Idanha-a-Nova's handcrafted recipes.

No added salt: a choice, not an accident. The absence of salt keeps the natural balance between chocolate's bitterness and the walnuts' richness intact - no interference, no artificial corrections.

Made in the Naturtejo Geopark (UNESCO), in Idanha-a-Nova

Geocakes produces in Idanha-a-Nova, within the territory of the Naturtejo Geopark - the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO. The Chocolate and Walnut Cookies are one more expression of that commitment to the territory: local ingredients, an honest recipe, handcrafted production with no shortcuts.

Chocolate, walnuts and no compromise

• 17% walnuts from Beira Baixa - An amount you can feel in every bite, with the aromatic intensity only inland walnuts produce
• 11% chocolate - Present without dominating, in balance with the walnuts and the richness of the fresh eggs
• 33% fresh eggs - The base of a melt-in-the-mouth texture, characteristic of handcrafted cookies made with no industrial shortcuts
• No added salt - To preserve the natural balance of flavours, with no interference
• Handmade in Idanha-a-Nova - By Chefs Raquel and Mário Rui Ramos, in small batches, with the care the recipe demands
• Sold in bulk, by the kilo - No unnecessary packaging, with the right amount for each household

How to Enjoy the Chocolate and Walnut Cookies

They pair well with coffee, afternoon tea or a simple dessert. The absence of salt and the balance between chocolate and walnuts make them versatile - they work equally well with a glass of milk or alongside a regional fruit jam. Available in bulk, by the kilo, to enjoy at your own pace with no waste.

Straight from granite soils, at an average altitude of 500 metres, where low-fertility soils force the vines to work slowly, comes this DOC white from Quinta dos Termos. The slow ripening driven by Beira Interior's continental climate does the rest: a fresh, balanced wine, genuinely tied to its territory.

Three Grape Varieties, One Unique Terroir

The blend brings together Síria, Fonte Cal and Arinto, three traditional Beira Interior varieties that express the character of the granite soils well. Full ageing in stainless steel tanks preserves the primary aromas and natural freshness of the grapes, with no interference from wood. The result is a clean, lively white with a clear sense of place.

What You'll Find in the Glass

A citrine colour with greenish hints, typical of youth and freshness. On the nose, primary aromas of white fruit and florals, with the subtle minerality of the Beira granite. On the palate, natural acidity gives it liveliness and length, with an elegant, harmonious taste that invites another sip.

Responsible Production

Quinta dos Termos produces under Integrated Production certification by Sativa, which guarantees sustainable farming practices and respect for the local ecosystem. A choice that values the territory and native resources of Beira Interior.

Why Choose This White

• Traditional Beira Interior DOC varieties, from granite soils
• Stainless steel ageing: freshness and primary aromas preserved
• Lively natural acidity, elegant and balanced palate
• Integrated Production by Sativa: sustainable, responsible viticulture

A Flower You Can Eat - The Rosa Albardeira from Beira Baixa

Geocakes' Organic Rosas Albardeiras were born from a tribute to the Paeonia broteri - the flower that gave its name and identity to Toulões, an Idanha-a-Nova village known as the capital of the rosas albardeiras. Each biscuit is shaped with the care of someone who respects the territory and wants it to reach your table in a tasty, genuine way.

With the GeoFood Seal from the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark, these little biscuits are much more than a handcrafted treat - they're a declaration of love for Beira Baixa's endemic flora, made by hand in Idanha-a-Nova by the Geocakes team.

Pink Colour, Rooted in the Land

The pink hue that sets the Organic Rosas Albardeiras apart doesn't come from any artificial colouring - it comes from beetroot powder, an organic farming ingredient that gives the dough a soft, characteristic colour. Combined with the unmistakable aroma of the region's rosemary, the result is a biscuit that smells of the countryside and carries Beira Baixa's genuine flavour.

The recipe combines organic wheat flour with margarine, sugar, egg, baking soda, beetroot powder and rosemary. Simple ingredients, of verifiable origin, worked with the handcrafted know-how Geocakes has preserved since 2012.

Why Choose the Organic Rosas Albardeiras

• Organic farming ingredients - wheat flour, egg, beetroot powder and rosemary, with no synthetic pesticides
• Natural beetroot colour - no artificial colourings, the pink hue comes straight from the land
• Handcrafted production in Idanha-a-Nova - made by hand by the Geocakes team with Beira Baixa rosemary
• UNESCO Naturtejo GeoFood Seal - recognised as a genuine product of the Geopark territory
• A tribute to endemic flora - a unique cultural and territorial link to the Paeonia broteri of Toulões
