A biscuit that tells the story of the Earth

500 million years ago, they lived in the Palaeozoic seas. Today, they live in Beira Baixa in biscuit form. Geocakes Trilobites are an edible tribute to the Naturtejo Geopark's geological past - created by Chef Raquel in Idanha-a-Nova, with cinnamon, chocolate and over 40 years of handcrafted know-how.

Geocakes Trilobites are born from the geological inspiration of the Naturtejo Geopark - the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO. Their shape evokes the extinct Palaeozoic arthropods whose fossils dot the Idanha-a-Nova territory. An idea only Geocakes had: turning geological heritage into a handcrafted biscuit with a unique identity and genuine flavour.

The recipe combines wheat flour (40%) with margarine, sugar, eggs (7%), chocolate and cinnamon - local ingredients, no GMOs, no lactose, with a shelf life of up to 120 days. Each Trilobite is hand-shaped by the Geocakes team, with the time and care a recipe with 40 years of history deserves.

With the GeoFood Seal from the Naturtejo Geopark (UNESCO)

The Trilobites carry the GeoFood Seal, awarded by the Naturtejo Geopark - a UNESCO network - to products that authentically and verifiably represent the territory. A biscuit with this name and this shape could only have been born here - in Idanha-a-Nova, next to the Chafariz da Senhora da Graça.

Geology, chocolate and cinnamon - none left out

• Chocolate and cinnamon - The combination that gives the Trilobites the warm, enveloping flavour that sets them apart
• Fresh eggs (7%) - Which give this recipe its structure and characteristic texture
• No GMOs, no lactose, vegetarian - An inclusive choice with no compromise on flavour
• Shelf life of up to 120 days - No artificial preservatives: natural longevity comes from the recipe, as it always has
• Handmade in Idanha-a-Nova - By Chef Raquel and team, 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 Trilobites

They pair well with afternoon tea, morning coffee, or a table of sweets with a story to tell. The combination of chocolate and cinnamon also makes them an appealing gift choice - especially for anyone who appreciates gastronomic curiosities with territorial identity. Available in bulk, by the kilo, to enjoy at your own pace with no waste.

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.

For Which Occasions

• A sophisticated starter for dinners and snacks with friends
