History and Tradition

Bringing to the World the Best of Alentejo

Tiago was born on the Alentejo coast and grew up watching his father managing the butchery family business in Vila Nova de Milfontes. He founded Alentejo Fine Foods with the purpose of providing moments of inspiration and pleasure, inviting the consumer to appreciate the best of Alentejo.

With more than 20 years of professional experience in Portugal, United Kingdom and Switzerland, Tiago started his career in Civil Engineering, moving later to Management, where he has played the role of business manager in Financial Services. He graduated in Civil Engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico of the University of Lisbon and completed an MBA at the London Business School of the University of London.

Transformed Meat

We've got you covered!

We provide our customers with the best quality fresh meat from the interior and southwest of Alentejo. The animals grow in freedom on farms in a care environment that favours animal welfare, thus generating high quality meat.

Long lasting quality!

Ultra freezing is nowadays the best way to not only preserve the nutritional value and quality of meat but also extend its shelf life. In this way, we seek to offer our customers a practical solution that offers a compromise between meat quality and long shelf life.

It's a lifestyle, not a diet!

Part of our fresh meat is selected for the production of chorizos typical from Alentejo and cured in a traditional smokehouse fed by holm oak wood. We produce various types of sausages and chorizos, including the iberian/ black pig chorizo.
