Areias in Bulk - Handcrafted Biscuits from Beira Baixa

The name geology inspired

Some biscuits tell the story of the land where they were born. Geocakes Areias do it through their name and texture: that gentle grainy quality that evokes the Naturtejo Geopark's natural sediments, with the citrus touch of orange that Chef Raquel worked into the recipe. Made in Idanha-a-Nova, by hand, with short-supply-chain ingredients - as simple as that.

Geocakes Areias don't have this name by chance. The grainy texture characteristic of these biscuits speaks directly to the natural sediments of the Naturtejo Geopark - the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO, where Geocakes has produced from the start. Idanha-a-Nova isn't just the brand's address: it's the reason these biscuits have this identity, this name and this flavour.

Chef Raquel developed the recipe with wheat flour, vegetable margarine and orange - a combination that results in that slightly grainy texture that melts in the mouth without falling apart before it gets there. The citrus touch balances the richness of the vegetable margarine and gives the Areias the personality that sets them apart.

With the GeoFood Seal from the Naturtejo Geopark (UNESCO)

Geocakes Areias carry the GeoFood Seal, awarded by the Naturtejo Geopark - a UNESCO network - to products that authentically and verifiably represent the territory and its know-how. A recognition that confirms what's already proven: local ingredients, a handcrafted recipe, honest production in Idanha-a-Nova.
