The origins of this ancient biscuit factory may go back to the nineteen century, but the documents have not yet been found to confirm it. It is certain that, in the 30’s of the twentieth century, this company added a biscuit factory and bakery, stood out physically by legal imposition. At that time the owners did everything to distinguish their products from the others, by the quality of the ingredients, manufacturing processes and baking. Nowadays it is run by a young couple who make an effort to maintain the tradition and introduce some innovative elements, with the support of the former employees. Produces about 25 qualities of biscuits, and “miminhos”, “digestivos”, ”barcos” (boats), “fidalgos” and the “cacos” the most popular. In the production are only used fresh products. After, being kneaded the dough is rolled out and put in the wood oven, all done manually. The wholewheat, ginger and mint are being used for more light and gourmet versions to reach new markets and tastes. Past, present and future meet to make us mouth water. Visits to the shop and production are every weekday 9h-12h30 | 14h-18h30.
