Copper Crafts. Joana

Douro

Adriano and his team design and manufacture copper distillation equipment and kitchen utensils.

They are the heirs to a tradition of handcrafted copperwork, skillfully hammering the metal into shape with precision and care.

At CopperCrafts, they produce stills, cataplanas, and basins for making ovos moles, as well as other essential utensils for preserving Portugal’s gastronomic heritage.

And beyond that? The Turkish coffee pot—also handmade in Castelo de Paiva.
