About The Local Story

In a world where mass-produced goods dominate the market, The Local Story is here to change the narrative. We believe in the beauty of small, independent producers—the artisans, farmers, and creators who pour their passion into every product they make. From handcrafted cheeses and traditional sweets to organic cosmetics and locally roasted coffee, Portugal is rich in hidden treasures that often go unnoticed.

Celebrating Portugal’s Rich Culture and Flavors

Portugal is more than just stunning coastlines and historic cities; it’s a land of deep-rooted traditions, unique regional flavours, and masterful craftsmanship. At The Local Story, our mission is simple: to connect you with the best small Portuguese producers, wherever you are.

Whether you’re longing for the comforting taste of home or eager to explore new flavors from different regions of Portugal, our curated gift boxes bring the country’s finest local products straight to your doorstep.

Reinventing E-commerce with Personalization & Sustainability

Unlike traditional online marketplaces, we aim to reinvent e-commerce by making gift boxes truly customizable, sustainable, and unique. Our customers can create their own perfect selection, choosing from high-quality local food, beverages, organic cosmetics, and artisanal goods. Every purchase directly supports small Portuguese businesses, keeping their craft alive in a competitive global market.

More Than Just Food – Expanding into Art & Lifestyle

While we started with food and beverages, our vision goes beyond that. Soon, we’ll be adding organic skincare, handmade crafts, and unique Portuguese goods to our selection—helping local artists and brands gain the visibility they deserve.
