Feitoria Do Cacao Dark chocolate Peru Marañón 72%

Feitoria do Cacao was born from a transformative journey to São Tomé and Principe by founders Tomoko Suga and Sue Tavares. During their visit, they explored cocoa plantations and met with farmers, learning about the cocoa process and the stark contrast between the farmers’ lives and the sweetness of chocolate. This experience deeply impacted them, driving their commitment to bridging the economic gap between cocoa farmers and chocolate producers.

After a year of professional chocolatier training and meticulous experimentation with cocoa from various countries, they developed a product that highlights the unique character of each terroir. They focus on micro-batch, bean-to-bar chocolate making, ensuring attention to every detail. Feitoria do Cacao stands out as a pioneer in the Portuguese market, offering a unique product and committing to paying fair prices for high-quality cocoa.

Their vision extends beyond chocolate as a simple treat. In Portugal, they aim to redefine chocolate as a divine nourishment suitable for all ages. Since 2017, Feitoria do Cacao’s chocolates have gained international acclaim, earning prestigious awards in the sector.
