Enhancing a region's unique and authentic heritage

Text written by Joaquim Camilo for issue no. 2 of AESINTRA Business Magazine.

Sintra, a place that enchants with its natural, architectural and cultural beauty, has flavors, experiences and emotions that can only be found here. Its rich cultural heritage makes it an unparalleled region. Its uniqueness is marked by unique, authentic and representative products.

Sintra's authentic products bear witness to production methods and history accumulated over generations. They bring authentic flavors, transmitting the tradition and mastery of local artisans.

In addition, they honor ancient traditions while keeping up to date, promoting constant innovation and an economic impact that values the local community.

All of this translates into a commitment to a more sustainable future, covering not only important economic aspects, but also social and environmental issues.

It is in this context that we are bringing the Made In Sintra program to life, now officially institutionalized, with regulations in place, a plan for valuing certified producers, and with the necessary brand registrations to make the project a success.

This launch is an initiative of pride and commitment. AESINTRA, in collaboration with Sintra Town Council, has designed the program with the aim of highlighting what is truly identifiable about Sintra.

It not only publicizes, but also ensures the quality of the products produced in Sintra and gives consumers the confidence that they are experiencing the authenticity of our region.

Made in Sintra is now more than an idea, it is a project that has materialized beyond a logo. It presents itself as a symbol of the pride shared by all certified producers.

It is a true affirmation of respect for history, while keeping a firm eye on the future.

Its distinctive "seal" is more than a guarantee: it is the promise of authenticity and excellence. This program is now a testament to this region's dedication to preserving its traditions and values, while moving forward with confidence into what lies ahead.

Sintra isn't just beautiful, it's authentic, and our Made In Sintra is proof of that.
