Awaken your senses with this handcrafted selection of organic seasonings from Beira Baixa. Three intense flavours come together in one kit: aromatic thyme, smoked paprika paste and hot sauce (piri-piri) in a dosing dropper, ready to turn any dish into an authentic, territorial gastronomic experience.

Organic Intensity from Beira Baixa

This exclusive selection brings together three handcrafted organic seasonings made at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO. Each flavour was developed by Chefs Raquel and Mário Rui Ramos, with over 40 years of HORECA experience, and reflects Geocakes' commitment to traditional recipes and ingredients from local producers in the Idanha-a-Nova region.

The organic thyme reveals earthy, aromatic notes characteristic of the region's Mediterranean flora. The paprika paste combines natural sweetness with balanced smoky touches, the result of peppers ripening under Beira Baixa's summer sun. The standout is the hot sauce dropper, made with Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, two of the world's hottest peppers: a few drops are enough to set any dish ablaze, from seafood rice to grilled meat.

Kitchen Uses

Organic thyme seasons roasted meats, grilled vegetables and broths, reducing the need for salt. Paprika paste enhances stews, seafood rice and marinades, bringing depth and colour to dishes. The hot sauce dropper adds controlled heat to soups, sauces and snacks, drop by drop, without ever overpowering the recipe's original flavour. A versatile kit for anyone who likes to season their own way.

Key Features

• Double organic certification, in production and processing
• Controlled dosing of the hot sauce, drop by drop, for a custom intensity
• Authentic flavours from Beira Baixa, nothing industrial or artificial
• Handcrafted, territorial production, linked to the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark

Origin and Certification

All the seasonings have organic certification in production and processing, plus the GeoFood seal, which attests to their territorial origin and their link to the Naturtejo Geopark. The ingredients come from short supply chains and local producers in the Idanha-a-Nova region, preserving traditional methods and native resources.
