Josè Gourmet - Perafita (Portogallo)

Josè Gourmet is a Portuguese company, one of the smallest canning companies in the Iberian Peninsula, born in 2008 thanks to Adriano Casal Ribeiro, former pilot and company director, and Luis Mendonça, illustration teacher and artistic director of Josè Gourmet. An ambitious project, born with the objective of bringing to market a vast line of gastronomic products that tell the story of Portugal and its cuisine. The products we propose are among the pillars of the country's gastronomy: Cod, Mackerel and Sardines in the first place, selected in local markets with great attention to the environment and sustainability. Mendonça's artistic hand can be seen in the carefully crafted packaging, in which the irreverent and unconventional graphics of local illustrators, who have revisited the product in a caricatured key, explode. We liked this truly unique line of fish preserves and pâtés, anchored in Portuguese tradition, but winking at international gastronomy, such as French, with Ravigote sauce, but also Asian, with Curry sauce: an open approach to gastronomy, without borders, as we like it
