also known as Moleanos Limestone, Figueira Limestone
Portugal's best-known fine-grained limestone, quarried in the Maciço Calcário Estremenho near Alcobaça. A warmer, slightly more golden sibling to Moca Cream: uniform, very workable and durable. Widely used across European hospitality and residential interiors and exteriors; one of Portugal's most successfully exported building stones.
