Geocakes' Organic Cinnamon Raivas are traditional Beira Baixa biscuits made by hand in Idanha-a-Nova, with 6% cinnamon and organic farming ingredients. A family recipe over 40 years old that Chef Raquel Ramos keeps shaping, biscuit by biscuit - so the aroma reaches your table exactly as it always has.

The Cinnamon that Defines a Biscuit

6% cinnamon isn't a detail - it's a choice. In Geocakes' Organic Cinnamon Raivas, cinnamon isn't a flourish: it's the centre of everything. The aroma wraps around you before the first bite, and the flavour lingers after the last. Combined with organic wheat flour, eggs and sugar, it results in a biscuit with a personality of its own - unmistakable, genuine, from Beira Baixa.

A Family Recipe Over 40 Years Old

Some recipes don't need reinventing. This is one of them. Passed down through generations, the Raivas recipe reached the hands of Chef Raquel Ramos, with over 20 years of experience in traditional Portuguese cooking - and came out of them exactly as it should: handcrafted, organic and true to the Naturtejo Geopark territory.

Each batch is made at the Geocakes atelier in Idanha-a-Nova, with double organic control - production and processing - and the GeoFood distinction from the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark.

A recipe by Chef Raquel Ramos, made by hand in Idanha-a-Nova

Geocakes' Walnut and Chocolate Cookies are handcrafted biscuits with a clear identity: walnuts from Beira Baixa, quality chocolate and fresh eggs, brought together in a dough that doesn't need added salt to have personality. The recipe is by Chef Raquel Ramos, Geocakes' founder, and it shows from the very first bite: a soft texture that gives gently, an intense walnut flavour with just the right balance of chocolate, without excess.

These are biscuits that don't try to be anything else. Truly handcrafted, made by hand in Idanha-a-Nova, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark. Each pack is a slice of inland Portugal, of the territory Raquel and Rui chose to build Geocakes in, back in 2012.

The territory in the flavour

Idanha-a-Nova lies within Portugal's first UNESCO Global Geopark. It's not just an address, it's an origin with weight and history. Geocakes produces here because it believes the territory matters, that local ingredients make a difference, and that an honest recipe needs no shortcuts. The Walnut and Chocolate Cookies are proof of that.

What sets them apart

• A generous proportion of walnuts: present in a real, recognisable way in every cookie, not just as a flavouring or decorative touch
• No added salt: the flavour balance comes from the ingredients, not from corrections
• Chef Raquel Ramos' handcrafted recipe: made by hand in Idanha-a-Nova, with the know-how of someone who has been doing this for over a decade
• Chocolate with presence: 11% of the recipe, enough to be felt in every bite without overpowering the walnuts
• GeoFood certification: produced within the UNESCO Naturtejo Geopark, with a verifiable commitment to quality and territory

How to enjoy them

The Walnut and Chocolate Cookies pair well with a mid-morning coffee, an afternoon tea, or a shared dessert. They're also a meaningful gift choice: for anyone who appreciates biscuits with character, who enjoys receiving something handmade, and who wants to take a piece of Beira Baixa home.

From Beira Baixa to your table. Flavourful and authentic.

The Adufe is a traditional Portuguese frame drum of deep cultural value, especially tied to the Beira Baixa region. This handcrafted 10x10 cm piece, made with natural hide, preserves an age-old tradition introduced to the Iberian Peninsula between the 8th and 9th centuries, keeping alive the musical heritage of Mediterranean civilisations and the Arab legacy in Portugal.

A Musical Instrument with an Age-Old History

This handcrafted Adufe represents one of the most authentic expressions of traditional Portuguese music. With compact 10x10 cm dimensions, it's made with natural hide following ancestral techniques that preserve the characteristic sound of this unique percussion instrument.

Introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by the Arabs between the 8th and 9th centuries, the Adufe maintains a deep historical connection to women's tradition, tracing back to civilisations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome, where it was mostly played by women.

A Cultural Symbol of Idanha-a-Nova

This piece comes from Idanha-a-Nova, a region where the Adufe is a true cultural and identity symbol. Its handcrafted production keeps Beira Baixa's traditional techniques alive, in a territory classified as a UNESCO Global Geopark.

Key Features

• Preserves authentic Portuguese musical traditions
• Connects to Mediterranean cultural heritage
• A portable instrument, easy to learn
• A unique handcrafted piece in natural hide

Note: Colours may vary slightly from the photograph, always keeping the authenticity of the natural material used.

A Biscuit with 500 Million Years of History

Geocakes Trilobites were born from a simple, genuine idea: to make Beira Baixa's geological history edible. Inspired by the arthropods that ruled the Palaeozoic oceans, these handcrafted biscuits were created by Chef Raquel Ramos in Idanha-a-Nova - at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, Portugal's first UNESCO Global Geopark. They're a tribute to the territory made by hand, with natural ingredients and the know-how that can only be learned by living in a land with this kind of depth.

Handcrafted at Heart, Unique in Shape

Each Trilobite is hand-shaped with an attention to detail no industrial process can replicate. The shape evokes the segmented exoskeleton of the prehistoric animal - recognisable to anyone who has seen a fossil in the rocks of Penha Garcia or in the Geopark's exhibitions - turning every biscuit into a piece with its own identity. No two are exactly alike, just as no two fossils are alike.

The recipe combines Beira Baixa's biscuit-making tradition - cinnamon, eggs, wheat flour - with chocolate, resulting in a biscuit that's both familiar and surprising. The cinnamon aroma that comes from the pack is the same as always; the shape is unique in the world.

GeoFood Certification and Production with Purpose

Geocakes Trilobites hold the GeoFood Seal - a distinction awarded by the Naturtejo Geopark to products that establish an authentic, verifiable link between gastronomy and the geological territory. They're made in Idanha-a-Nova, GMO-free, lactose-free and suitable for an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet. The maximum 120-day shelf life reflects the absence of artificial preservatives and a commitment to natural ingredients.

To Enjoy, to Gift, to Keep

• A table dessert with a story to tell - perfect for ending a meal with identity
• A gift with Portuguese soul - for anyone travelling through Beira Baixa or wanting to bring the Geopark into someone's home
• An accompaniment to afternoon tea or coffee with a surprising geological narrative
• A gastronomic souvenir of the Naturtejo Geopark trails - a way to extend the visit
• A corporate gift with genuine distinctiveness - no other brand has this unique territorial link

From Beira Baixa to Your Table

Geocakes was founded in 2012 by Raquel and Rui, who traded city life for inland Portugal to preserve recipes and celebrate the territory they chose to live in. The Trilobites are, perhaps, the product that best sums up that purpose: handcrafted without compromise, local without pretext, unique without effort. They are Beira Baixa you can taste, geology you can eat, tradition that stays.

Made near the Chafariz da Senhora da Graça, in Idanha-a-Nova, they reach your table with a shelf life of up to 120 days and all the soul of people who take it seriously.

Handcrafted Fig Jam from Beira Baixa

This organic fig jam reflects Beira Baixa's traditional know-how, prepared by Chef Raquel and Chef Mário Rui Ramos, with over 40 years of gastronomic experience dedicated to regional cooking. Each jar reflects a short supply chain: the figs are harvested from Geocakes' own orchard and processed right next to the territory where they grew, with no middlemen.

The recipe combines whole organic fig, whole lemon and a touch of cinnamon, all from organic farming. With no added cane sugar, the jam preserves the fruit's natural sweetness and offers a more balanced alternative to conventional jams, without giving up the intense flavour and thick texture that characterise the Pingo de Mel fig.

A Flavour Born in the Orchard

Pingo de Mel figs are harvested at just the right point of ripeness, when their natural sweetness is most concentrated. It's this fruit that gives body and flavour to this jam, with no need for added sugars. Taste it and feel the difference between an industrial jam and one made with real fruit, at the land's own pace.

How to Enjoy This Jam

This jam pairs well with toasted homemade bread, cured cheeses from the region, or simply plain yoghurt at breakfast. It's also a versatile kitchen ingredient, adding depth to sauces or accompanying charcuterie and cheese boards. Always keep a jar on hand for the moments when only a genuine flavour will do.

• No added cane sugar

Quinta dos Termos is rooted in Beira Interior with the conviction of one who respects the terroir they work. This 2021 DOC red is the result of that close relationship with the land: four traditional Portuguese grape varieties, sustainable practices and the unmistakable character of a region that is part of the Naturtejo Geopark.

Four Varieties, One Identity

The blend brings together Jaen, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and Trincadeira, in a combination that reflects the varietal richness of Beira Interior DOC. Partial ageing in French oak barrels adds complexity without overpowering the fruit, resulting in a wine with layers that unfold throughout the tasting.

What You'll Find in the Glass

A deep red colour with bluish hints, a sign of structure and ageing potential. On the nose, fresh red fruit with subtle vanilla notes from the French oak. On the palate, good volume, well-integrated plum compote and firm but polished tannins, supporting a balanced, pleasant finish.

Responsible Production

Quinta dos Termos produces under Integrated Production certification by Sativa, a model that respects the local ecosystem and values the region's native resources. A choice that also supports sustainable viticulture in Beira Interior.

Why Choose This Wine

This extra tomato jam comes from Beira Baixa, handcrafted by Geocakes using whole tomatoes grown on the farm's own small plot. The skin of the fruit is kept, giving it more intense flavour and a genuine texture, with nothing to hide.

Handcrafted Jam from Beira Baixa

Made in Idanha-a-Nova, this jam combines just three organic ingredients: whole tomato, sugar and cinnamon. It's that simplicity that gives body to the final result, a preserve with a creamy texture and the right balance between sweetness and the tomato's natural acidity.

Concentrated flavour, no artifice

By keeping the tomato's skin in the process, Geocakes preserves flavour and properties that are usually lost when the fruit is peeled. The result is a jam with character, closer to the real taste of a ripe tomato than to an industrial preserve.

A jam that also feels at home with savoury food

Despite its name, this jam feels right at home alongside savoury dishes. The acidity of the tomato and the sweetness of the cinnamon make it a natural companion for cured cheeses and cold cuts, well beyond breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Key Features

• Made with whole tomato, with skin, from the Geocakes small plot
• Just three ingredients, all from organic farming
• No preservatives or artificial additives
• Handcrafted production in Idanha-a-Nova, Beira Baixa
