1. Tropical Escape – Torrada Rolo de Goiabada: A work of art, with fine layers of golden pastry wrapped around a soft guava cream filling. Slowly caramelized in the oven and dusted with cane sugar, this iconic biscuit offers an irresistibly indulgent contrast of crispness and fruitiness.
2. Douro Secret – Biscoito de Vinho e Canela: The soul of the Douro Valley captured in a premium biscuit. The captivating richness of Port wine blends with the warmth of cinnamon, enhanced by local olive oil and the toasted crunch of sesame. A biscuit of rare complexity, ideal with a fine wine.
3. Awakening of the Senses – "Pastel de Nata" Bean-to-Bar Chocolate: A feat of fine chocolate-making that reimagines the iconic Portuguese custard tart, first made at the Jerónimos Monastery in 1837. The intensity of Nicaraguan milk chocolate (57%) complements and elevates the crispness of puff pastry, the smoothness of subtly lemon-scented cream, and the warmth of cinnamon. A unique and irresistible combination.
4. In Praise of Contrasts – Capinhas Doces Canela Crackers: The ultimate journey between sweetness and saltiness. This exceptionally delicate biscuit is made of layers of fine puff pastry, subtly seasoned with sea salt from the Aveiro lagoon and coated in cinnamon. Dusted with granulated cane sugar for a crunchy finish, it is the perfect sweet-and-salty harmony to make time stand still.
5. Orange Blossom Delight – APIMEL Artisanal Honey (50g): Harvested in the heart of Portugal’s sun-drenched regions, this orange blossom honey reveals delicate, subtle floral aromas and a beautifully rounded flavor. A pure, authentic touch of nature to enhance your tea, toast, or special moments of indulgence.
