01  —  Citrus

Kumquats are small citrus fruits that can be eaten in whole even the skin! The taste of the skin is sweet, slightly bitter and is delicious in combination with the sour pulp. Cut them into slices for a salad or eat them as a healthy snack.

“Our journey began in 1959, when our family moved to Africa to grow cotton and rice. Over the years, we shifted into seafood trading for more than three decades, followed by nearly twenty years in gold mining. In 2020, during the pandemic, we returned to our roots on a patchwork of abandoned farmland in Portugal. What began as an experiment with exotic plants quickly turned into a passion, especially after discovering the finger lime, a rare citrus that thrived in the unique soil and microclimate of our valley.”
