Casal Vouga mima devotos do grão-de-bico

Founded in 2018, Egocultum, a new member of AIP based in Santarém, produces Casal Vouga chickpeas, a traditional variety with unique characteristics and shorter cooking time that has already won two national awards.

Managed by José Azóia and leading a wide network of agricultural partners, the Ribatejo company also offers training and technical support necessary for the cultivation of this legume, adapted to the Portuguese climate.

The company prepares the product for the market, from sizing and cleaning, to packaging, thus controlling quality as well as production processes.

The Azóia family has been cultivating several Portuguese varieties of chickpeas since 1982. After decades of cultivation, they selected the most generous and resistant seeds to create a unique variety, called Casal Vouga.

In 2019, Egocultum won the National Intermarché Producteur award with Casal Vouga, which, a year later, was registered in the national variety register.
