A final memory from in Lisbon.
For the fifth and final stop of Portuguese Ingredients, Reinterpreted, Claudia Priscila met head of bars Mauro Roldão to explore how a Portuguese ingredient can find its place behind the bar.
At Kissaten, ingredients are not approached through tradition alone. They become part of a broader dialogue between technique, culture, and hospitality.
Through Mauro’s perspective, pennyroyal takes on a new role, shaped by influences that reach far beyond Portugal while remaining connected to it.
The medium changes.
The ingredient remains Portuguese.
This marks the end of Portuguese Ingredients, Reinterpreted.
Five stops. Five different perspectives. One ingredient at a time, seen through the hands of creators who continue to redefine what Portuguese ingredients can become.
