From Beira Baixa's border region comes this handcrafted venison paté, made by DoMonte with local game meat and enriched with truffle. A delicacy that respects inland Portugal's hunting tradition and brings it straight to your table, with all the depth of flavour only the countryside can give.

From the hunt to the field, from Beira Baixa to your table

DoMonte works from the border region, just a few kilometres from Idanha-a-Nova, with native countryside products and a handcrafted approach that never compromises on quality at any stage. The Venison Paté with Truffle is the result of that dedication: a creamy texture, an earthy aroma and a flavour that stays in the memory of anyone who appreciates carefully made country cooking.

Truffle (2%) and a touch of Armagnac lift this preparation's aromatic profile, making it a distinctive choice for anyone looking for something truly different from industrial spreads. There are no shortcuts in this recipe, only real ingredients and know-how with deep roots in Beira Baixa.

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

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.

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

A Gift with the Territory's Soul

The Organic Rosas Albardeiras are one of Geocakes' most evocative products - hard to find anywhere else, because they were born from a specific flower from a specific Beira Baixa village. Packaged with no unnecessary plastic, they make a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates biodiversity, territory and the genuine flavours of inland Portugal.
