Origin of raw materials
Authentic Origins: Ingredients with Portuguese Identity
The secret behind the unique flavors of the Travel Kit 6 Flavors – Portuguese Monuments lies in the origin of its ingredients. Every fruit, olive, and aromatic component is selected based on its connection to the land, seasonal rhythm, and certified quality through labels such as DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) and IGP (Protected Geographical Indication). Tasting these jams, spreads, and creams is also a journey through the landscapes, stories, and traditions that make Portuguese gastronomy one of the richest and most distinctive in Europe.
Azorean Pineapple DOP
The Azorean pineapple is grown exclusively on São Miguel Island, in glass greenhouses that preserve agricultural practices unique in Europe. Its ripening process is slow—about two years—allowing the fruit to develop an exotic flavor, balanced acidity, and intense sweetness. This Atlantic tropical fruit bears DOP certification and is one of the most iconic symbols of Azorean agriculture. Its fresh, vibrant aroma makes it perfect for gourmet pairings, representing the purity and island character of Portuguese flavors.
Algarve Orange IGP
The Algarve orange is renowned for its natural sweetness, abundant juice, and intense citrus aroma. Grown in Portugal’s sunniest region, this variety holds IGP certification, reflecting its connection to the Mediterranean climate and local farming traditions. Rich in vitamin C and with a vibrant flavor, it’s a staple of Portuguese desserts and ideal for balanced culinary compositions. This orange embodies the southern sun and the full essence of Portugal’s fruit-growing heritage.
Galega Olive from Beira Baixa IGP
The Galega olive, produced in the Beira Baixa region, is one of Portugal’s most cherished varieties. With IGP certification, it stands out for its mild flavor, buttery texture, and balanced fat content. Traditionally hand-picked, it’s used in both preserved form and for making refined olive pastes. Deeply rooted in the region’s ancestral cultivation methods, this olive brings authenticity to delicate savory dishes, offering a rustic yet elegant touch.
Negrinha do Douro Olive DOP
The Negrinha do Douro olive is a small, dark variety grown exclusively on the schist slopes of the Douro Valley. With DOP certification, it's known for its intense, slightly bitter, and persistent flavor. Its cultivation is closely tied to Port wine culture and the agricultural heritage of the Douro region. Used in high-quality spreads and olive oils, the Negrinha reflects the bold and authentic character of northern Portugal—an ingredient with deep territorial identity.
São Tomé Dark Chocolate
São Tomé dark chocolate is made from premium cocoa sourced from the African island, a former Portuguese colony. The connection between São Tomé and Portugal dates back to the 15th century, when the island became a key player in cocoa trade due to its strategic location and fertile soil. Today, São Tomé cocoa is considered among the finest in the world, known for its notes of dried fruit, spices, and elegant bitterness. This premium chocolate is chosen by meia.dúzia® to bring richness and intensity to its creams—representing a flavorful bridge between the Lusophone world and Portuguese culinary excellence.
Port Wine
Port wine is one of Portugal’s most internationally recognized products. Produced exclusively in the Douro Demarcated Region, this fortified wine results from a process of interrupted fermentation and barrel aging. With a sweet, complex, and velvety flavor, Port wine is used in numerous Portuguese dishes—from desserts to meat recipes—and in this kit, it adds aromatic depth to creams and jams. Its presence is a symbol of tradition and sophistication—an oenological signature with centuries of Portuguese heritage.
