点评:I suppose there’s really not much to see or do here. But I guess that misses the point of going here. It is really worth supporting and free to enter.
We went by car and it wasn’t very far out of the main town from the port.
The staff are real friendly too. It’s five green stars all the way. What is different is you get organically grown sweet pineapples thriving on a small island 885 miles from anywhere with no bugs to attack the shrubs and not a pesticide in sight.
We visited two long tunnel glass greenhouses on site but I guess there was a dozen or more there. Most of the glass was painted white as sunlight burns the plants.
We saw the growth cycle from a side shoot through to mature fruit that takes about a year from birth. It is much prized here and sells for €8 a kilo locally.
They have a tasting cafe where we had pineapple liquor, pineapple jam and a pineapple tart similar to pastel de nata.
There was a great variety of goodies and we bought the liquor (20 proof) pineapple jam generously full of fruit and pineapple beer over 5%.
What’s most important is that this place is the anthesis of going to supermarkets for fruit that’s grown with pesticides and mass production or buying over sugared jam in a supermarket. No thanks. I’ll pay a few euro more and be grateful places like this still exist.
We had a private tour and our driver got a coffee and pie in the cafe. I offered to pay for his in our order but I was told it was complimentary to him.
I just loved the honesty when they simply could have taken the money. How refreshing and genuine. Pity we can’t bottle it. If you get a chance don’t miss it especially for the cafe goodies and for the spirit and enthusiasm behind it.
翻译:我想这里真的没什么可看的或可做的。但我想这错过了来这里的重点。这里真的值得支持,而且免费入场。
我们开车去的,离港口不远,离主要城镇也不远。
工作人员也非常友好。全程都是五颗绿星。不同之处在于,你可以在距离任何地方 885 英里的小岛上有机种植甜菠萝,没有虫子侵袭灌木丛,也看不到杀虫剂。
我们参观了现场的两个长隧道玻璃温室,但我想那里有十几个或更多。大多数玻璃都被漆成了白色,因为阳光会灼伤植物。
我们看到了从侧枝到成熟果实的生长周期,从出生到成熟大约需要一年时间。它在这里非常珍贵,在当地以每公斤 8 欧元的价格出售。
他们有一家品酒咖啡馆,我们在那里喝了菠萝酒、菠萝果酱和类似葡式蛋挞的菠萝馅饼。
那里有各种各样的好吃的东西,我们买了酒(20 度)菠萝果酱,里面装满了水果,还有酒精度超过 5% 的菠萝啤酒。
最重要的是,这个地方是去超市买用杀虫剂种植和大规模生产的水果或在超市购买含糖果酱的对立面。不,谢谢。我愿意多付几欧元,并感谢这样的地方仍然存在。
我们进行了一次私人旅行,我们的司机在咖啡馆喝了咖啡和吃了馅饼。我提出在我们的订单中支付他的费用,但我被告知这是免费的。
我只是喜欢他们的诚实,因为他们本来可以简单地收钱。多么令人耳目一新和真诚。可惜我们不能装瓶。如果有机会,不要错过它,尤其是咖啡馆的美食以及它背后的精神和热情。
