With no meat, made with pork fat, wheat flour, paprika, garlic, bay leaf and salt, it has a soft texture and a spiced flavour that sets it apart from any other sausage. In Beira Baixa, this recipe has come down to today exactly as it always was, and that's how Geocakes brings it to you.

A Recipe True to Its Origins

Made in the Beira Baixa region, within the territory of the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark, this farinheira is selected by Chef Raquel Ramos following the same criteria that guide all of Geocakes' curation: recognisable ingredients, a genuinely handcrafted process, and a flavour that needs no explanation. Paprika and garlic give it its characteristic aromatic profile, bay leaf adds depth, and wheat flour gives it the smooth, unctuous texture that makes farinheira unmistakable.

Farinheira lends itself to several cooking methods:

• Grilled over charcoal or in a pan, with handcrafted bread and regional olive oil
• Boiled, as part of a Portuguese-style cozido alongside other sausages
• In scrambled eggs with green asparagus
• On charcuterie boards, contrasting with cured sausages

Fresh Chinese cabbage. Raw ginger. Himalayan salt. Natural fermentation for a minimum of 21 days. MAI Organic Sauerkraut is made the old way, with no preservatives, no pasteurisation, no shortcuts. The result is an intense, slightly spicy, unmistakable flavour, with all the probiotic richness that only a long natural fermentation can create.

21 days of fermentation, a lifetime of good habit

MAI Organic Sauerkraut starts with fresh Chinese cabbage, raw ginger and Himalayan salt. Nothing else. Slow, controlled natural fermentation, with no heat or preservatives involved, turns these three simple ingredients into a living food, full of beneficial microorganisms that reach your table intact. The minimum is 21 days: that time isn't a detail, it's the condition for fermentation to complete naturally and develop the aromatic and probiotic profile that sets this sauerkraut apart from any processed version.

Three ingredients, zero compromises

• Fresh Chinese cabbage, the base of fermentation
• Raw ginger, natural warmth and aromatic complexity
• Himalayan salt, no additives or anti-caking agents
• A minimum 21-day fermentation, for full probiotic development
• No preservatives and no pasteurisation, the microorganisms arrive intact

How to Use in the Kitchen

MAI Organic Sauerkraut is effortlessly versatile. Serve it plain as a starter or snack - the intense, slightly spicy flavour of the ginger speaks for itself. Use it to accompany meals: grilled dishes, eggs, pulses, rice. Add it to bowls and salads for a fermented element that transforms any dish. The essential rule: never heat it. Heat kills the live microorganisms that make this food what it is. Always add it cold, at the end.

A Living Food for a Conscious Table

MAI Organic Sauerkraut is part of the Geocakes partner selection because it shares the same principles: natural, organic ingredients, handcrafted production and full transparency about the process. A slight fizz or an intense tangy aroma are signs of a living, healthy product, not spoilage.

Sementes Vivas' organic Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) seeds, available at Geocakes, produce intense blue flowers that turn any garden into a small wild refuge. With long flowering, they attract bees and butterflies and bring back a flower that was once common in Portuguese fields.

Cornflower: A Wildflower from Beira Baixa

The Cornflower was once a common presence in Portuguese wheat and barley fields, considered a weed, before becoming increasingly rare with modern farming practices. Growing it in the garden today is also a small way of giving it back some space. These seeds reach you through Sementes Vivas, a Geocakes partner based in Idanha-a-Nova, with organic and Demeter (biodynamic farming) certification, sharing the same values of respect for the land and the Naturtejo Geopark's natural cycles.

How to Grow It in Your Garden

Cornflower adapts easily to different soil types, as long as it gets good sun exposure. It prefers direct sowing in its final spot and needs no complicated care once established, growing to about one metre tall. Each pack contains 10g of seeds, enough for a colourful border or a wild corner of the garden.

From the Land to the Table and to Decoration

The blue petals are edible and can enrich salads, herbal teas and dishes, with a mild, slightly peppery taste. Once dried, they keep their colour well and also become a natural, biodegradable confetti, widely used at weddings and outdoor celebrations, a second life beyond the garden and the kitchen.

Why Choose These Seeds

• Organic and Demeter seeds, no chemical treatments
• Edible flowers, for cooking and herbal teas
• Long flowering, over several months

French Marigold: Beauty and Protection in the Garden

Beyond its ornamental value, French Marigold is known among gardeners for helping to reduce nematodes and other soil pests, thanks to substances released by its roots, especially when planted in clusters alongside other crops. These seeds reach you through Sementes Vivas, a Geocakes partner based in Idanha-a-Nova, with organic and Demeter (biodynamic farming) certification, sharing the same values of respect for the land and the Naturtejo Geopark's natural cycles.

From the Land to the Table

The petals, with a mildly bitter taste, can be used in salads, soups, sauces, cakes and breads, working as a traditional, economical substitute for saffron, both in colour and in the aroma they bring to dishes. A double life few flowers can offer, spanning the garden and the kitchen.

The five-ingredient recipe Beira Baixa keeps close

Five ingredients. Not one more, not one less. Geocakes' Esses d'Idanha are made with wheat flour (30%), fresh egg yolks, sugar, virgin olive oil (22%) and cinnamon. A recipe Beira Baixa has always known, made in Idanha-a-Nova with the know-how of people who don't need to improve it.

The Esses d'Idanha are one of the most emblematic biscuits in Idanha-a-Nova's sweet-making tradition. Their S shape isn't just aesthetic - it's the sign that each one was hand-shaped by Chefs Raquel and Mário Rui Ramos, following an ancestral recipe that survived unchanged because it never needed to change.

The combination of virgin olive oil (22%) with fresh egg yolks and wheat flour gives these biscuits that texture which melts delicately in the mouth - dense enough to feel, light enough not to weigh you down. The touch of cinnamon rounds off the flavour without dominating it. Five ingredients that, in the right proportion, produce something no list of additives could ever imitate.

With the GeoFood Seal from the Naturtejo Geopark (UNESCO)

Made at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark - the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO - the Esses d'Idanha carry the GeoFood Seal. A recognition awarded by the Geopark to products that authentically and verifiably represent the territory. Ancestral recipe, local ingredients, handcrafted production: it's exactly what the Seal confirms.

Five ingredients, zero shortcuts

• Virgin olive oil (22%) - From the Beira Baixa region, giving the Esses the unique texture that sets them apart from any industrially made biscuit
• Wheat flour - The base of a hand-worked dough, with no texturising agents or artificial improvers
• Fresh egg yolks - Which give the colour, richness and that gentle melt-in-the-mouth quality characteristic of this recipe
• Cinnamon - A touch that rounds off the flavour without overpowering it, true to the original recipe
• Hand-shaped in Idanha-a-Nova - In small batches, by Chefs Raquel and Mário Rui Ramos, with over 40 years of dedication to regional recipes
• GeoFood Seal from the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark - Territorial recognition that distinguishes products with verifiable roots in the region

How to Enjoy the Esses d'Idanha

They also make a meaningful gift - for anyone who appreciates something genuine, with verifiable origin, made by people who know the territory. Available in bulk, by the kilo, to enjoy at your own pace with no waste.

Handcrafted Jam from Beira Baixa

Geocakes' Extra Apple Jam is made in Idanha-a-Nova, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, Portugal's first UNESCO Global Geopark. Prepared with apples from Geocakes' own orchard, with the fruit's skin worked into the recipe, this extra jam delivers a more intense flavour and an enveloping texture, true to the preserving methods passed down through generations in Beira Baixa.

Whole Fruit, True Flavour

By keeping the apple's skin in the preparation, Geocakes preserves part of the fruit's natural richness and achieves a jam with more character, more texture and greater depth of flavour. The result is a jam with a vivid colour and a present aroma, reminiscent of the apple as it comes off the tree.

Rooted in Tradition, Made by Hands that Know How

Made by Chefs Raquel and Mário Rui Ramos, this extra jam follows handcrafted fruit-preserving methods passed down through generations in the Beira Baixa region. Every jar reflects respect for the fruit's right time and for the land that grew it, with no rush and no industrial shortcuts.

More than a jam, this extra preserve is a portrait of Idanha-a-Nova and the UNESCO-recognised territory. Every spoonful brings whoever tastes it closer to the landscapes, orchards and know-how that have defined Beira Baixa for generations.

A Simple, Honest Recipe

The recipe combines only apple, sugar and cinnamon, with no additives or unnecessary ingredients. It's this simplicity that lets the fruit's natural flavour be the true star of this extra jam, from the first spoonful to the last.

A Miniature with Idanha-a-Velha's History

This mini stone house recreates, on a small scale, the traditional architecture of Idanha-a-Velha, an age-old settlement at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, the first UNESCO Global Geopark recognised in Portugal. Each piece is worked by hand, preserving Beira Baixa's handcrafted techniques and paying tribute to this historic village's Roman heritage.

A Village with Over Two Thousand Years of History

Idanha-a-Velha was founded by the Romans in the late 1st century BC and raised to municipality status about a century later. It survived Germanic invasions, became a bishopric seat under the Suevi, and kept that status under the Visigoths, a period that gave rise to the famous legend of King Wamba. It's this living memory that this miniature seeks to preserve and share.

A Decorative Piece with Territorial Soul

This mini house isn't a toy, but a decorative piece with a built-in magnet, designed to accompany everyday life on metal surfaces, like the fridge or a noticeboard. Being made of natural stone, each piece keeps small variations in colour and texture, making every one slightly unique.

Key Features

• A handcrafted reproduction of Idanha-a-Velha's architecture
• A tribute to Beira Baixa's Roman heritage
• Built-in magnet for decorative display
• Natural materials from the region, handmade
• A compact 3.5 by 4 cm size, ideal for collecting or as a keepsake

Use and Care

This piece is purely decorative and should not be mistaken for a toy. Keep out of reach of small children, due to its small size and built-in magnet. To keep it in good condition, clean only with a dry cloth, without water or cleaning products.

Some vintages stay with you. Herdade do Escrivão's 2019 was one of them. This Reserva comes from a 4.5-hectare vineyard on sandy schist soils in Beira Interior, tended as a living ecosystem following the principles of biodynamic farming. The result is a wine of concentrated character, with the unmistakable signature of those who know the Beira terroir deeply.

An Estate with Deep Roots in Beira Interior

Herdade do Escrivão is an 80-hectare estate that brings together wine, biodiversity and gastronomy in a coherent, long-term project. With over 20 years of organic farming practice and Demeter biodynamic certification since 2019, the estate is led by viticulturist Miguel Valente and winemaker João Salavessa. The vineyard benefits from excellent sun exposure, sandy schist soils with no history of disease, and an integrated agricultural environment: vegetables, cereals, pastures and a herd of Charnequeira goats coexist on the same property, generating natural synergies that come through in the glass.

Grape Varieties, Ageing and Identity

The Reserva is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira and Tinta Roriz, aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal expression. It's the same philosophy applied to the estate's most demanding tier: no compromises, no artifice, with Beira Interior's terroir at the centre of everything.

What You'll Find in the Glass

A deep garnet colour. On the nose, concentrated red fruit takes centre stage from the start, with ripe cherries and plums up front and wild blackberry notes adding complexity. On the palate, velvety tannins reveal a fuller-bodied structure than the standard vintage, with volume, elegance and a long finish that invites reflection. A Reserva to keep or to share on a special occasion.

Why Choose This Reserva

• Demeter certification: biodynamic, with over 20 years of organic practice
• 2019 vintage: greater concentration and complexity than the standard vintage
• Traditional Portuguese varieties from Beira Interior, in a balanced blend
