Origin of raw materials
Cultivated in the Alto-Alentejo interior region for centuries, the “Rainha Cláudia Verde” plum variety has acquired its own specificity, because of the ecological conditions of the region, which make it different from that produced in other regions. This perfect adaptation to the soils and climate of the region makes it possible, for example, to grow it practically without the use of pesticides, with most orchards in perfect ecological balance.
The name Rainha Claudia (Queen Cláudia) (1499-1524) was given to her in honor of the daughter of Anne of Brittany and Louis XII, the Duchess of Britannia, who became the first wife of King Francis I of France.
Lemon thyme is part of the mint family and is the leaf of a low-growing shrub. The leaves are tiny and greyish green, with a dry, delicate lemon scent. Its main nutrients are Calcium, Fiber, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Vitamins A, B6 and C. This aromatic herb is produced in organic production, in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, thus having a more intense aroma and flavor.
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.

Blueberries grow in clusters and range in size from the equivalent of a small pea to that of a marble. They have an intense color that ranges from blue, brown and black-purple and include soft gray-white flowers that cover the surface of the berries and serve as a protective layer. The skin surrounds a semi-transparent integument that surrounds small seeds.
