Highlights

An aroma that stays with you

Some biscuits are recognised before they're even tasted. Geocakes' Cinnamon Raivas are that kind: the aroma of cinnamon announces them, the texture confirms them. Handmade by Chef Raquel Ramos in Idanha-a-Nova, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, they come from a traditional recipe that Beira Baixa guards with care. Each biscuit is individually shaped, with the hand and the time that handcrafted production deserves.

Cinnamon as an ingredient, not an artifice

The cinnamon in these Raivas is a real ingredient, not a laboratory flavouring. Its presence defines the biscuit's character: warm, enveloping, unmistakable. The recipe combines wheat flour, margarine, sugar, milk and cinnamon in a proportion Geocakes has preserved from the start. No colourings, no artificial flavourings. What's in the biscuit is what's on the ingredients list.

Made in the territory that inspired them

Idanha-a-Nova isn't just where the Cinnamon Raivas are made. It's the territory that gives them context: a place with its own identity, recognised by UNESCO through the Naturtejo Geopark, the first Portuguese geopark. Producing here is a commitment to the place, to tradition and to a regional gastronomy that deserved to reach further. The Cinnamon Raivas are a small ambassador for that tradition.

A Biscuit with 500 Million Years of History

Geocakes Trilobites were born from a simple, genuine idea: to make Beira Baixa's geological history edible. Inspired by the arthropods that ruled the Palaeozoic oceans, these handcrafted biscuits were created by Chef Raquel Ramos in Idanha-a-Nova - at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, Portugal's first UNESCO Global Geopark. They're a tribute to the territory made by hand, with natural ingredients and the know-how that can only be learned by living in a land with this kind of depth.

Handcrafted at Heart, Unique in Shape

Each Trilobite is hand-shaped with an attention to detail no industrial process can replicate. The shape evokes the segmented exoskeleton of the prehistoric animal - recognisable to anyone who has seen a fossil in the rocks of Penha Garcia or in the Geopark's exhibitions - turning every biscuit into a piece with its own identity. No two are exactly alike, just as no two fossils are alike.

The recipe combines Beira Baixa's biscuit-making tradition - cinnamon, eggs, wheat flour - with chocolate, resulting in a biscuit that's both familiar and surprising. The cinnamon aroma that comes from the pack is the same as always; the shape is unique in the world.

GeoFood Certification and Production with Purpose

Geocakes Trilobites hold the GeoFood Seal - a distinction awarded by the Naturtejo Geopark to products that establish an authentic, verifiable link between gastronomy and the geological territory. They're made in Idanha-a-Nova, GMO-free, lactose-free and suitable for an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet. The maximum 120-day shelf life reflects the absence of artificial preservatives and a commitment to natural ingredients.

To Enjoy, to Gift, to Keep

• A table dessert with a story to tell - perfect for ending a meal with identity
• A gift with Portuguese soul - for anyone travelling through Beira Baixa or wanting to bring the Geopark into someone's home

• A corporate gift with genuine distinctiveness - no other brand has this unique territorial link

They are Beira Baixa you can taste, geology you can eat, tradition that stays.

Made near the Chafariz da Senhora da Graça, in Idanha-a-Nova, they reach your table with a shelf life of up to 120 days and all the soul of people who take it seriously.

Handcrafted Jam from Beira Baixa

Geocakes' Extra Peach Jam is made in Idanha-a-Nova, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, Portugal's first UNESCO Global Geopark. Prepared with peaches, 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 peach'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 peach as it comes off the tree. It's a jam that doesn't hide the fruit behind the sugar, but lets it take the lead.

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 Jam That Keeps the Right Time

Each batch of this extra jam is prepared from peaches picked at their ideal point of ripeness, respecting the rhythm of the fruit rather than that of mass production. It's this care, made with patience and attention, that sets a handcrafted jam apart from an industrial product.

• A traditional Beira Baixa preserving recipe
• Handcrafted production in Idanha-a-Nova

Biscuits with 500 Million Years of History

Geocakes' Organic Trilobites are an edible tribute to one of the most fascinating animals in Earth's history: marine arthropods that ruled the oceans for over 250 million years and left their fossilised traces in Beira Baixa's rocks. Each biscuit is handcrafted to evoke the shape of these extinct creatures, turning every pack into an experience between gastronomy and palaeontology.

Made in Idanha-a-Nova, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark - Portugal's first UNESCO Global Geopark -, these little biscuits come from a recipe unique and exclusive to Geocakes, created by Chef Raquel Ramos to be as unique as the territory they celebrate. With the GeoFood Seal, the Organic Trilobites are genuine ambassadors of the Geopark to the world.

Ingredients from Organic Farming

The recipe combines organic wheat flour (40%) with eggs (7%), chocolate, millet and cinnamon, all from organic farming. The choice of each ingredient respects the values that have guided Geocakes since 2012: naturalness, verifiable origin and respect for the territory. The result is a crunchy, lightly sweetened biscuit, with notes of chocolate and cinnamon that complement each other in an unmistakable texture.

A Handcrafted, Lactose-Free Recipe

For anyone avoiding lactose products, the Organic Trilobites are a safe, tasty choice. The recipe includes no milk or dairy, keeping all the crunch and complex flavour that set Geocakes' handcrafted production apart.
