The beginning
At some point in our lives we start paying attention and appreciating small details and enjoying the simple things in life.
One striking moment between us (Carawela’s founders, two Portuguese brothers-in-law) happened as we used a small and portable fire oven. As family members and friends were enjoying their meal and each other’s company, stories started to flow…
That oven brought people together and allowed for making much more than food for our bodies – it fed our lives.
So we came up with a plan to share this with everyone.
We got excited about it and ideas arose at a fast pace, 90% of them silly 🙂
From the first model we designed, things went left and right, expanding to the existing range of products: Apogeu Wood Fired Oven, Nove Portable Plate Grill and Doze Plate Grill.
The process goes on, our goal is to make the best wood fired ovens and grills and spread our Portuguese Caravelas around the world, as our sailing ships did centuries ago during the great era of Portuguese discoveries.
We just love fire cooking, inviting our friends, neighbours, clients, suppliers and delivery guys. It’s just a matter of arriving at the right moment and enjoying the occasion.
This is our feedback loop, we want to know what they think could be better, how we can contribute to people’s lives through fire cooking.
Carawela’s Vision
Feeling the sun and the wind.
Listening to the birds and smelling the grass.
Hearing kids run and play around.
Is there anything better?
There is: adding friends and good food to the mix.
It is an excuse and a pleasure for all of us. Always.
Carawela’s vision is to promote outdoor living, inspire people to enjoy going out and each other whilst enjoying good and healthy food.
Cooking with fire and preparing a meal together is a great way of enjoying each other’s company. Taking the time to start the fire, watching it glow, tasting the food, sharing stories.
Carawela’s fire cooking tools create the perfect opportunity to invite people over for a meal and talk.
Do you have a story with fire cooking you want us to share ?
We’d like to hear from you.
