The Authentic Taste of the Alentejo
We are proud to offer the EcoBrasa Alentejo Rafia, a charcoal that embodies the true spirit of Portuguese grilling. Sourced from the sustainable pruning of Holm Oak (Azinheira) in the heart of the Alentejo, this charcoal is the "secret ingredient" used by top chefs across the country. Unlike generic coals, Holm Oak is a dense hardwood that imparts a rich, earthy, and distinctly Mediterranean aroma to everything it touches.
High Performance & Quick Ignition
While our Marabú charcoal is built for extreme 12-hour endurance, the Alentejo Holm Oak is designed for high-performance versatility. It ignites faster than tropical hardwoods, reaching searing temperatures quickly—making it perfect for high-heat "Hot & Fast" grilling. Once lit, it provides a powerful, steady radiation of heat that is ideal for searing the perfect steak, grilling fresh Atlantic fish, or firing up a traditional Portuguese chicken piri-piri.
Professional Quality for Every Grill
Packaged in a durable 14kg raffia bag to prevent breakage, this charcoal features large, high-density lumps that ensure excellent airflow in your Kamado, Braaimaster, or open-fire BBQ. It produces very few sparks and a manageable amount of ash, allowing for a cleaner cooking experience. If you want the authentic, smoky flavor that has made Portuguese grilling world-famous, this is the fuel for your fire.
