Borrachões from Beira Baixa - Handcrafted Biscuits by Geocakes

An Ancestral Recipe that Tastes of Idanha-a-Nova

Geocakes' Borrachões are the flagship of our handcrafted kitchen - a biscuit that has survived generations because its flavour simply isn't up for debate. Made by Chef Raquel Ramos at the Idanha-a-Nova atelier, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, every unit carries the know-how of Beira Baixa: a preserved recipe, ingredients with provenance, an unmistakable texture.

With 19% virgin olive oil, the Borrachões have a personality of their own that sets them apart from any shelf-bought biscuit. The olive oil gives softness and richness. The brandy and wine give them character - that subtle edge that surprises on the first bite and wins you over right after. The cinnamon rounds it all off with an aromatic touch that recalls kitchens of days gone by.

Handmade, from Start to Finish

There are no shortcuts in making Borrachões. The dough is prepared and worked by hand at the Geocakes atelier, without industrial processes or unnecessary additives. Each biscuit passes through the team's hands before going into the oven - and that care is what you taste in the final result.

The ingredients are chosen for what they represent: the virgin olive oil comes from olive trees in the region; the eggs are fresh; the cinnamon is aromatic and balanced in just the right amount. Nothing more, nothing less. The recipe is the same as always - because some things don't improve with substitutes.
