A Medieval Village in Miniature, with a Magnet

This mini stone house represents the historic village of Penha Garcia, in Beira Baixa, whose vantage position over the River Ponsul has impressed for centuries. Handmade by Geocakes, it turns the memory of a former municipal seat into a small, functional piece that can accompany you every day, on the fridge or a noticeboard.

Penha Garcia: Templars, Charters and Memory

Penha Garcia was a refuge for outlaws by order of Infante D. Henrique and received its royal charter from D. Afonso III in 1256, renewed by D. Manuel in 1510. The village passed through the hands of the Knights Templar and, later, the Order of Christ, leaving a historical heritage that Geocakes seeks to honour in every piece of craftwork it produces.

Handmade in Beira Baixa

Each miniature is handcrafted from natural stone sourced in the region, with wood details and a magnet applied to the back. Being a handmade piece, small variations in the stone and finish are natural and part of each piece's character.

An edible tribute to Toulões and the Paeonia broteri

The colour comes from beetroot. The aroma comes from rosemary. The story comes from Toulões. Geocakes' Organic Rosas Albardeiras are exactly the same biscuit with a sense of place - but with every ingredient from organic farming. Handmade in Idanha-a-Nova, in the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark.

The Rosas Albardeiras are one of Geocakes' most distinctive biscuits. Their identity isn't just about taste - it's territorial. Each biscuit evokes the Paeonia broteri, the wild peony that gives its name to the village of Toulões and blooms every year in the Naturtejo Geopark, the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO.

The recipe combines organic wheat flour with margarine, sugar, egg, aromatic rosemary and beetroot powder - the natural colouring that gives these biscuits their characteristic hue. All ingredients come from organic farming, sourced from producers who share the same respect for the land and the territory.

A biscuit that tells the story of the Earth - with organic ingredients

500 million years ago, they lived in the Palaeozoic seas. Today, they live in Beira Baixa in biscuit form. Geocakes Organic Trilobites are the same edible tribute to the Naturtejo Geopark - with cinnamon, chocolate and all ingredients from organic farming. Handmade in Idanha-a-Nova by Chef Raquel.

Geocakes Trilobites are born from the geological inspiration of the Naturtejo Geopark - the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO.
