Célia Cabral

Founder

Artisanal spices · Cape Verde · Belgium

A Brussels resident by choice, but Cape Verdean at heart. Célia founded Nag’s Temperos to bring the flavors of the Atlantic to Belgian and European tables—without compromise, without additives.

HER CAREER

From the Atlantic archipelago to the

Brussels cuisine

Célia Cabral grew up surrounded by the flavors of Cape Verde—spices slowly infused, recipes passed down from generation to generation, cooking as an act of love. When she moved to Brussels, she noticed something was missing: these authentic seasonings weren’t available on the Belgian market.

It was in her Brussels kitchen that the first Nag’s Temperos recipes were created. Not a reproduction, but an interpretation: Cape Verdean traditions meet the expectations of today’s Belgian consumers—impeccable quality, transparent ingredients, and gourmet presentation.

Today, Nag’s Temperos offers a complete range of products—dried spices, creamy seasonings, and flavored oils—distributed from Brussels throughout Belgium and internationally.

Cape Verde Culinary Heritage

Family recipes, Atlantic spices, and the oral tradition of a vibrant and generous cuisine.
 

BXL Moving to Brussels

“I wanted every jar to capture the essence of the Atlantic—its scents, its warmth, its bounty. And for it to find a place in every kitchen.”

— Célia Cabral, founder of Nag’s Temperos · Brussels
