Begin a Night of Romance and Connection

Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to create a memorable and enchanting experience. Even before the first course is served, the magic begins with the atmosphere that surrounds the space. Soft lighting, candles delicately arranged on the table, rose petals, and gentle music in the background create the ideal setting for a dinner that celebrates intimacy and love.

Every decorative element, every carefully prepared dish, and every thoughtful detail of the table setting reflects the care and dedication invested in transforming this evening into an unforgettable memory. From choosing an elegant tablecloth to arranging each item on the table, everything contributes to creating a space that invites sharing, tenderness, and the celebration of love.

In this way, the Valentine’s Day dinner becomes a journey that begins long before the first bite. It is an immersive experience, where every touch, every flavor, and every shared moment becomes a declaration of love that will be remembered forever.

Create an Enchanting and Romantic Atmosphere

Before serving the first course, take time to transform the dining table into a scene straight out of a fairy tale. Choose a tablecloth in neutral or soft tones that highlights the beauty of what is placed on it. Scatter rose petals elegantly, marking each place setting as a meeting point for moments of tenderness. Use candles of different heights to create a play of light and shadow that dances to the rhythm of soft music. You may also add fairy lights around the table or within simple yet charming floral arrangements, reinforcing a sense of intimacy and sophistication.

Select a warm and inviting color palette, such as deep reds, golds, and soft browns, harmonizing with the natural tones of the cheeses, jams, and meats. Plates may be simple, but they should enhance the presentation of the food. Consider white porcelain or pastel-toned dishes that allow the food to take center stage.

Add small details that show the care put into the experience. A handwritten menu placed beside each plate can serve as a keepsake from the evening. Carefully folded cloth napkins add a refined touch. Instrumental music or a playlist with romantic, understated songs creates a soundscape that encourages conversation and smiles.

By creating this atmosphere, you set the tone for a night where food is just one part of the whole. The true charm lies in the shared moments, exchanged glances, and genuine smiles that blossom when the space around you reflects the affection and attention you have for one another. With the right ambiance, Valentine’s Day dinner becomes not just a meal, but a celebration of your love story.

Romantic Starters: The Beginning of a Special Evening

To begin this special night, imagine a table decorated with a rustic wooden board at the center, adorned with delicate details such as rose petals and aromatic candles. The soft candlelight casts a warm glow, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. This is the stage where a carefully arranged selection of starters will seduce the senses and awaken the appetite for the rest of the Valentine’s Day dinner.

As a prelude of flavors, an elegant selection of cheeses is presented. The creamy cow’s milk cheese is sliced into generous pieces and placed next to the tube of Bravo de Esmolfe Apple Extra Jam with Cinnamon. Each piece of cheese can be delicately topped directly from the tube, allowing the contrast between the cheese’s creamy texture and the aromatic sweetness of apple and cinnamon to offer a unique experience. Nearby, the Palhais Gourmet goat cheese appears, cut into small slices or rounds, ready to receive a touch of Fig and Orange Extra Jam with Cinnamon. This pairing is both comforting and intriguing, awakening pleasure with every bite. Completing the cheese selection, the aged cheese, cured for three months, is arranged in rustic cubes. Beside it, the tube of Pumpkin and Orange Jam with Rosemary and Eucalyptus Honey awaits, adding a sophisticated and crunchy touch to each piece.

In the same enchanting setting, thin slices of reserve cured ham rest beside the tube of Red Pepper Chutney. This combination invites the palate, where the sweet and gently spicy notes of the chutney balance the richness of the ham. Lightly toasted slices of cornbread or traditional broa complete the experience. These slices may be spread with Galega Olive Paste with Fig, offering an unexpected and delicious fusion of earthy and sweet flavors.

The Intense Green Extra Virgin Olive Oil is presented in a small dish alongside sesame crackers. This robust olive oil is perfect for dipping pieces of bread or crackers, creating a contrast of textures that pleases both the palate and the eye. Finally, a small bowl of Iberian Black Pork Pâté is added to the board, accompanied by a delicate spoon, ready to be spread on crackers or bread. The pâté’s creaminess and deep flavor elevate the starters to another level.

To accompany this moment of sharing and discovery, glasses of Papa Figos Douro DOC Red Wine are filled with a ruby liquid that glows in the candlelight. The wine, with its red fruit notes and smooth tannins, harmonizes perfectly with the cheeses, chutneys, and pâtés, enhancing each flavor and completing the experience with refinement.

As the glasses meet for a toast, the atmosphere becomes even more magical. The combination of authentic flavors, careful presentation, and a romantic setting transforms this opening moment into a celebration of intimacy and love. It is an introduction to the rest of the evening, where every detail has been designed to create an unforgettable memory for two.

Main Course: Duck Breast with Mango Chutney and Spicy Honey Glaze — A Symphony of Flavors for Valentine’s Day

For the main course, we suggest grilled duck breast with an exotic touch of mango chutney and a delicate glaze of Orange Blossom Honey with Chili Pepper. This dish, accompanied by oven-roasted vegetables drizzled with Medium Green Extra Virgin Olive Oil, is a captivating and seductive combination of flavors - ideal for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner. To elevate the experience even further, Papa Figos Douro DOC Red Wine is the perfect pairing, creating a harmony of flavors and textures that makes this meal truly unforgettable.

Preparing the Duck: Begin by preparing the duck breast. Clean it carefully and score the skin in a crisscross pattern, without cutting into the meat. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, allowing the natural flavor of the duck to shine. Heat a heavy skillet without adding fat. Place the duck breast skin-side down, allowing the fat to render slowly until the skin becomes golden and crispy. Turn the breast and sear briefly on the other side, ensuring the interior remains juicy. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Sides and Plating: While the duck rests, prepare the vegetables. Choose colorful carrots, red onions, and small potatoes. Cut into uniform pieces, season with salt and pepper, and generously drizzle with the Medium Green Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Arrange on a baking tray and roast until tender and lightly golden. The olive oil adds a subtle herbal note and depth of flavor that balances the sweetness of the chutney.

The Final Touch: Just before serving, gently reheat the duck breast in the pan to ensure it is hot. Drizzle with Orange Blossom Honey with Chili Pepper as it warms, allowing the honey to caramelize slightly and create a glossy, fragrant glaze. Slice the duck breast and fan it onto the plate, adding a generous spoonful of mango chutney alongside. Arrange the roasted vegetables around it and finish with a light drizzle of olive oil for extra freshness and aroma.

Perfect Pairing: The Papa Figos Douro DOC Red Wine, with its red fruit notes and well-integrated tannins, enhances the richness of the duck and the gentle heat of the honey, while complementing the tropical touch of the mango chutney. It is the ideal partner to balance the flavors of the dish and provide a harmonious and memorable dining experience.

With this main course, you will enjoy not only a visually stunning and flavorful meal, but also a romantic experience that delights the senses and strengthens the bonds of love.

Layered Seduction: Dark Chocolate, Blackberry, and Hazelnut Mille-Feuille

After a dinner filled with bold flavors, dessert arrives as the crowning moment of a night that celebrates love and sharing. On an elegantly decorated plate sits the dark chocolate mille-feuille, a creation that dazzles with its contrast of textures and depth of flavor. The crisp layers of puff pastry, baked to golden perfection, envelop generous portions of São Tomé Dark Chocolate Spread with Blackberry, Hazelnut, and Nutmeg, whose intense, velvety flavor melts in the mouth.

As the first slices are served, the aroma of dark chocolate blends with the subtle freshness of fresh blackberries, strategically placed between the layers. The crunch of caramelized pecans adds an element of surprise, while a dusting of powdered sugar on top brings a delicate visual touch of sweetness. Every detail has been designed to delight not only the palate, but also the eyes and the heart.

Accompanying this dessert, a glass of Alvarinho Brut Reserve Sparkling Wine, Quinta de Santiago, is raised in a silent toast to the moment. The fine bubbles and citrus notes perfectly complement the chocolate, cleansing the palate and inviting another bite. Under the soft candlelight, this dessert becomes an almost ethereal experience - a sublime ending to a dinner that offered not just food, but memories to treasure.

Each bite of this mille-feuille, each sip of sparkling wine, speaks of the care and dedication one has placed into creating this moment for the other. It is a dessert that is not merely food, but a declaration of love, an invitation for the magic of the night to continue. Beneath the gentle glow of candlelight, with soft music playing in the background, dessert and sparkling wine become the perfect accomplices to a love celebrated in every detail.

Celebrate Love with a Unique Experience

At the end of a night filled with refined flavors and unforgettable moments, what remains is a deep sense of connection and affection. Each course, from the starters to the dessert, has been carefully designed to surprise the senses and create a warm, romantic atmosphere. More than a dinner, this was an invitation to share special moments, where every element of the hamper played a crucial role in creating a memorable experience.

This is the true essence of Valentine’s Day: not just celebrating love, but nurturing it through gestures, flavors, and moments that remain alive in memory. It is an invitation to make your next encounter a new journey of discovery and emotion, always celebrating the richness of your union.

São Tomé Chocolate

Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe was discovered in 1470 by Portuguese navigators, João de Santarém and Pedro Escobar. It was a Portuguese colony until July 12, 1975, when the islands gained their independence. Cocoa is another of the points that unites these two peoples, since it was Portugal that introduced these plantations to the islands. São Tomé ended up being known as the “Cocoa Island”. For this reason, the culture of these two islands continues to be linked by a common past and language.

Olive Oils
