Organic Areias in Bulk - Handcrafted Biscuits from Beira Baixa

Inspired by the territory - with a name that makes sense

Sand is texture before it's flavour. Geocakes Organic Areias have that characteristic grainy quality that defines this family of Portuguese biscuits - and add the citrus touch of orange that sets them apart. Made in Idanha-a-Nova by Chef Raquel, with organic ingredients from Beira Baixa, they're a tribute to Portuguese sweet-making know-how, made with the territory's own materials.

The name is no accident. Geocakes Areias evoke the Naturtejo Geopark's natural sediments - the grainy texture characteristic of these biscuits speaks to the geology of the territory where they're produced. Idanha-a-Nova, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark, the first Portuguese geopark recognised by UNESCO, isn't just Geocakes' address: it's the reason these biscuits have this name, this texture and this flavour.

Chef Raquel developed this recipe with organic ingredients selected from local producers - butter, sugar, orange and organic wheat flour in a combination that results in that slightly grainy texture that melts in the mouth without breaking apart before it gets there. The citrus touch of orange balances the richness of the butter without overpowering it.

With the GeoFood Seal from the Naturtejo Geopark (UNESCO)

Geocakes Organic Areias carry the GeoFood Seal, awarded by the Naturtejo Geopark - a UNESCO network - to products that authentically and verifiably represent the territory. Organic ingredients, a handcrafted recipe, production in Idanha-a-Nova: it's exactly what the Seal confirms.
