It is a family business managed by second-generation founders, with a headcount of 9 employees and no public revenue disclosure. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and revenue is generated through one-time product sales to B2B customers. Operating geography is domestic (Portugal) with a stated focus on the Minho region and no evidence of international expansion, digital channels, e-commerce, or export activity. The company differentiates itself by combining new process technologies with traditional Minho production knowledge, positioning as a manufacturer of authentic regional charcuterie.
