Estábamos a punto de morderla y no pudimos dejar de pensar: lo que estamos a punto de probar casi se extinguió. Estábamos a esta distancia de tener solo viento en nuestras manos.

UNA MANZANA RESCATADA POR LA DEDICACIÓN FAMILIAR

La familia Casais, de Tibães, se empeñó en rescatar esta manzana de la oscuridad, heredando el compromiso de monjes y campesinos que la preservaron a lo largo de los siglos.
Origins and Family Legacy

It starts with a tree. A family tree. The Casais family tree, from Tibães, the ones who vowed to bring the unique Maçã Porta da Loja (Door of the Store Apple) back from near extinction.

Historical Background

Centuries before that, the Benedictine monks of Mosteiro de Tibães had preserved its cultivation with near-religious care, and, later, local farmers stored them in the cool shed behind their front door (called “store”, or “loja” in Portuguese).

Rescue and Preservation

They began by searching for the last living trees, scattered across forgotten lands. Then, they worked with agricultural researchers to catalogue and preserve viable specimens, planting new orchards that respected the tree’s genetic integrity.

Revival and Products

Today, the apple is alive and well and can be savoured in different products ranging from cider to jam. You can also take a bite and taste it whole and chunky— the memory will be forever ripe.
