Foodie lovers will be delighted by the resorts unrivalled organic culinary offering from home reared meat to olive oil, fresh compotes and flavoursome jams. The entire meat production process is managed by VILA VITA Parc and Herdade dos Grous, from raising the free range animals to transportation of the meat in VILA VITA Parc’s own refrigerated vans to master butcher, Thomas Weber in Porches. With Thomas’s expertise he oversees the process guaranteeing quality and food safety from start to finish. The meat is then cut and processed avoiding any artificial additives or conservatives and sold at the German Butchers, the Metzgerei next door to VILA VITA Parc’s Biergarten. As well as meat, the Metzgerei also sells other organic products from Herdade dos Grous, including the wine for which it is most known.
