The Art of Using Acorns for Human Consumption
From September 8th to 10th, at Montado do Freixo do Meio (Montemor-o-Novo), the Acorn Academy brings together chefs, farmers, technicians, and entrepreneurs for an immersive program focused on the valorization of acorns — from the ecosystem to the plate.
Over 3 days, we explore:
The Quercus species and their habitats
Management and monitoring of semi-natural ecosystems
Harvest and post-harvest practices
Processing and storage
Culinary use and recipes
If you work in food, hospitality, organic products, forest management — or simply wish to revive an ancient knowledge with a future — this training is for you.
Turn knowledge into impact. Value the Montado. Innovate with acorns.
