Origin of raw materials
The pineapple from Azores/S. Miguel from Portugal (Ananas comosus L. Merril, Cayene variety) is produced in glass greenhouses using traditional cultivation techniques: application of “fumes” and the use of “warm beds” based on vegetable matter. After a period of two years, from planting to harvesting, a fruit with unique aroma and flavor qualities is obtained. The culture was introduced in S. Miguel around 1840-50, being commercialized in Europe for more than a century. Cylindrical shaped fruit, slightly tapered, with a strong orange peel and yellow pulp. The pineapple pulp has a translucent yellow color, a sui generis bittersweet flavor and a very pleasant aroma.
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) appears spontaneously in the savannas of southern India, Indonesia and Malaysia, and is widely cultivated in Africa and Brazil, as a medicinal and spice plant, supplying the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries. Used in tea, it results in a very pleasant drink with a strong lemon flavor, which works as a digestive and can accompany meals. Can be used to improve bad mood and heartburn. It also has a hepatoprotective and antispasmodic action on the digestive tract. It has calming properties, so it is consumed to improve sleep, along with linden.
Depending on the season of production, figs are called lampos (May and June) and vintage (July/September) . It is a fruit with well-marked organoleptic characteristics, with great nutritional qualities, being rich in vitamins B and C and mineral salts (especially calcium, phosphorus and potassium). Thin, colorful and shiny rind, high juice content, sweetness and unique organoleptic characteristics are some of the characteristics of orange from Algarve.
Rosemary and eucalyptus honey, more aromatic than other honeys, has a light brown tone and a more open aroma and palate.
Originating in North and Central America, where it is still one of the mainstays of food, the pumpkin belongs to the same family as the melon and watermelon (cucurbits). The shape of the pumpkin is variable, but it is usually ovoid or oblong. The rind is usually orange, but it can have other colors depending on the species. The bright orange color of the pumpkin contains a high content of carotenes, particularly beta-carotene, with antioxidant action. Beta carotene is then converted into vitamin A in the body.
