As you all know we were at Greenfest this past days. How could you not know?… we,already, shared with you some of, the many, good moments we had during the event.

Well, it was a huge success!

You were so many coming to visit us, wanting to learn more about spirulina and our production in Graciosa island – Azores and also trying and being surprised by how good our spirulina is tasting. It was truly rewarding the amount of times we heard you saying “Usually I don’t like the taste of spirulina but this is really nice!” We felt happy and grateful when receiving so many compliments on our products and on our project.

Chef Duarte Alves and chef Kiko, were also there and passed by to try the spirulina from the beautiful Azores archipelago. They both liked it so much that they decided spontaneously to use it during their showcookings at the event. What a wonderful surprise! How awesome is that?

 


During the event we had spirulina popcorns, there was no movie to go with but there were many interesting talks and presentations all around us. Everyone wanted to have a taste of those green speckled popcorns. “Spirulina popcorns!? really you can do that?!… Ohh… it’s really good!” All loved it and the children, but not only, were asking for more and more. This delicious and original combination was a tremendous success and we loved seing so many children eating spirulina popcorns with such a delight and getting green mouths.

Greenfest took place at Nova SBE Campus, in Carcavelos and what a better venue for this event than such a modern and dynamic university by the sea, with plenty of natural light bathing the building?After all, we are all learners in life and we sure have still a lot to learn about sustainability and more sustainable life styles.

You thought that was all regarding chefs? Look again… Chef Chakall also visited us, tried and enjoyed our spirulina and even asked for more of those delicious green popcorns. We also felt happy to see so many of you having the Azores close to your hearts and understanding the quality such a nature jewel brings to our production.

We had an amazing trip and experience all around. Thank you! to you all supporting us, to the organisers and friendly teams running the event, to all the amazing participants bringing so many interesting, beautiful and exciting projects, to the ones telling us their stories and teaching us about more sustainable lifestyles.

We really hope to be part of the Greenfest next year, it was definitely worth it!

Next weekend we will be in the Organii ecomarket at Marvila in Lisbon. You can find more about that in our facebook.

Come to meet us and our tasty green friend Spirulina!
Hope to see you there!
