Almonds, Olive Oil, Cheeses and Sausages

Some flavours need no introduction. The Chouriça from Beira Baixa is one of them. Smoked over holm oak wood, following the methods this region's master charcutiers have passed down through generations, it reaches your table with the aroma and texture that only time, know-how and the right ingredients can give.

A Cured Sausage with Deep Roots in Beira Baixa

Made by Salsibeira in the Beira Baixa region, a territory recognised as a UNESCO Global Geopark, this chouriça is much more than a cured sausage. It's the living expression of traditional Portuguese charcuterie, preserved with rigour and respect for ancestral methods. Smoking over holm oak wood makes all the difference: it naturally enhances the pork's flavour, gives it a firm texture and an unmistakable aroma you can smell even before the first bite.

Nothing here is rushed or simplified. Curing follows its own pace, as it always has. The result is a balanced cured sausage, with a strong flavour presence, mild in salt and rich in the aromas of traditional smoking.

How to Use in the Kitchen

As versatile as Beira Baixa's cuisine, this chouriça fits into almost everything:

• Thinly sliced, as a snack or starter, with regional bread and cheese
• On charcuterie boards, alongside other handcrafted cured meats and olives
• In cozido à portuguesa, adding body and flavour to the broth
• Grilled or roasted, with smashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables
• In migas, with Galician kale and Beira Baixa olive oil

Recognised Quality

This product embodies the region's fine know-how, distinguishing foods made with local ingredients and handcrafted methods. A guarantee of origin, authenticity and respect for Beira Baixa's gastronomic traditions.

Chouriço Mouro is one of the cured sausages most deeply rooted in Beira Baixa's charcuterie tradition. Smoked over holm oak wood in the traditional smokehouse, following recipes handed down through generations, it has an intense aroma and a firm texture that make it unmistakable. Once you know it, you don't forget it.

A Cured Sausage with Centuries of History in Idanha-a-Nova

Made from pork seasoned with salt, garlic and regional spices, this chouriço mouro follows a handcrafted process that was never rushed or modernised to seem easier. Drying in the smokehouse over holm oak wood is the step that defines everything: it's what gives the cured sausage its natural smoky aroma, characteristic dark colour and concentrated flavour that sets this product apart from industrially made sausages.

It comes from Idanha-a-Nova, at the heart of the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark territory, where Beira Baixa's traditional charcuterie know-how has stayed alive for generations.

How to Use in the Kitchen

Chouriço Mouro is versatile and features in some of Portuguese cuisine's most iconic recipes:

• In cozido à portuguesa, adding depth to the broth and the dish
• In winter soups, such as caldo verde or bean soup
• Grilled or oven-roasted, with bread and regional olive oil
• On charcuterie boards, alongside cured cheeses from Beira Baixa
• In migas and sautéed dishes, enriching the base flavour of traditional recipes

From Beira Baixa to Your Table

Geocakes selects this chouriço mouro following the same principles that guide the whole store's curation: verifiable origin, a genuine handcrafted process and flavour that tells a story. It's a product of the territory, made with respect for tradition and the region's ingredients.

Some flavours need no explanation, just time. Sabores da Soalheira's Organic Cured "Merendeira" Sheep Cheese is one of them: made with raw Portuguese sheep's milk, cured with patience and no shortcuts, it leaves in the mouth the memory of Beira Interior's pastures and know-how that stands the test of time.

Raw milk, handcrafted ageing, genuine flavour

This cheese is made exclusively with raw organic Portuguese sheep's milk, salt and rennet. No additives, no artificial preservatives, nothing that shouldn't be there. The uniform white semi-soft paste comes from the traditional ageing process that concentrates aromas and intensifies the flavour characteristic of the region's sheep cheeses.

What Sets This Cheese Apart

• Raw organic sheep's milk, preserving all the organoleptic properties of fresh milk
• A handcrafted ageing process with no artificial additives or preservatives
• Made by Sabores da Soalheira, a partner selected for sharing Geocakes' values
• A uniformly white semi-soft paste, with an intense, characteristic flavour
• Portuguese origin, with traceable raw material from a short supply chain

From the Board to the Table

This cured cheese shines on its own on a board with a drizzle of honey and rye bread, but adapts just as well to warm salads, pasta with aromatic herbs, or as an accompaniment to a wine from Beira Interior. The intensity of the raw sheep's milk makes it a talking point, never a background ingredient.

A Partnership with Purpose

Sabores da Soalheira shares with Geocakes the same commitment: real products, of known origin, made by people who respect the land and the animals. That's the criterion that defines every product that enters the Geocakes catalogue, including this cheese that comes straight from Beira Interior to your table.

Some cheeses are mass-produced, and some cheeses take time. Queijo da Fonte's Organic Cured Goat Cheese belongs to the second group: raw goat's milk, salt, rennet, and the patience of someone who knows that ageing can't be rushed. The result is a firm paste, a lingering aroma and a flavour that stays with you.

Raw Milk, No Shortcuts

This cheese is made exclusively with raw organic goat's milk of national origin, salt and rennet. Nothing else. The choice of raw milk is no accident: it preserves the organoleptic properties of fresh milk and passes on to the cheese all the aromatic complexity that industrial processes strip away. Traditional ageing does the rest, developing a firm texture and a characteristic, intense flavour.

What Sets This Cheese Apart

• Raw organic goat's milk, with all the complexity of fresh milk preserved
• Traditional handcrafted ageing, with no artificial additives or preservatives
• Made by Fonte Insonsa, a partner selected for sharing Geocakes' values
• A firm paste with the mild, characteristic flavour of cured goat cheeses
• Portuguese origin, traceable raw material from a short supply chain

On the Table

It shines on a board with nuts, fig jam or wild honey. It works well in salads with rocket, on toast with Beira Baixa olive oil, or simply sliced plain with a full-bodied white wine from Beira Interior. The intensity of the raw goat's milk makes it a cheese with character, for those who appreciate flavours with substance.

Some traditions live in the hands of those who practise them. At Quinta do Capilé, in Ladoeiro, sheep cheese is still made the way it always was: raw milk, sea salt and thistle, the vegetable rennet that Beira Baixa's cheesemakers have known for generations. The result is a firm-pasted cheese, with an intense flavour and lingering aroma that tells the story of the place where it was born.

Thistle, raw milk and time

What sets this cheese apart starts with its ingredients: raw sheep's milk, sea salt and thistle. Thistle is the traditional Portuguese vegetable rennet, responsible for a slow coagulation that preserves the milk's aromatic complexity and gives the cheese a firm texture and a characteristic flavour, different from what's obtained with animal or industrial rennet. No additives, no preservatives, no shortcuts.

What Sets This Cheese Apart

• Raw sheep's milk, with all the organoleptic richness of fresh milk preserved
• Thistle rennet, a traditional Portuguese cheese-making method
• Handcrafted production at Quinta do Capilé, in the Ladoeiro region, Beira Baixa
• Firm paste and intense flavour, the result of natural ageing
• Vacuum-packed, with a decorative base included

On the Table

It shines on its own on a board with a drizzle of wild honey and rye bread. It pairs with wild berry jams, nuts and full-bodied red wines from Beira Interior. The intense flavour of the raw milk and the uniqueness of the thistle rennet make it a cheese with character, for those who appreciate Portuguese cheese-making at its most genuine.

Quinta do Capilé

Quinta do Capilé is one of the partners Geocakes selected for sharing the same values: known origin, traditional methods and respect for the territory. This cheese is made in the Ladoeiro region, Beira Baixa, and reaches your table with no unnecessary intermediaries.
