Sítio São José, Sertão do Taquari, Paraty, RJ
The Atlantic Forest in Brazil has incredible biodiversity. Jorge Ferreira, is one of the great researchers of this biome. Raised in the middle of the forest at Sítio São José, in Paraty, one of the references in Agroforestry Systems in Brazil, Jorge shares his knowledge about the forest, not only with Chefs such as Alex Atala, Helena Rizzo, Bel Coelho, Ivan Ralston, but also with scientists such as Mari Drewinski. Mari is an Atlantic Forest mushroom researcher at the Instituto de Botânica de São Paulo, and she joined forces with Jorge to take us on a mushroom hunt to identify, collect and taste, an ingredient still not very popular on Brazilian tables.
