If there's one thing I value, it's good food, and I strongly believe that how food is produced has a huge impact on our bodies. I prefer to eat less but invest in better quality, rather than the opposite. I've always tried to find producers close to where I've lived, people I fully trust, and I truly think that's the most correct (and even futuristic) way to look at food – local and conscious.
If I lived in the Lisbon area, I'm sure I'd be in good hands with the Quinta do Arneiro gift baskets. And I'm very pleased to introduce you to Luísa, the woman who transformed a wonderful farm, in her family since 1967, into an organic farming project, complete with a market and restaurant. Perhaps this interview will make you want to try Quinta do Arneiro's products or even visit them to learn more about the project. I hope so!
