Origin of raw materials
Ingredients with Soul: Stories That Give Flavor to Portugal
The true richness of the Travel Kit 6 São Tomé Dark Chocolate Spreads – Portuguese Tiles lies in its origins. Each spread is a fusion of the finest São Tomé dark chocolate and Portuguese ingredients certified for quality, such as DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication). These flavors reflect the land, climate, and ancestral know-how of the regions they come from—now proudly celebrated symbols of authenticity and national pride.
São Tomé Dark Chocolate: The African Root of Portuguese Tradition
São Tomé dark chocolate is globally renowned for its bold, full-bodied profile and rich natural aromas. With a minimum of 70% cocoa, it reveals notes of coffee, dried fruit, earthy depth, and warm spices—qualities shaped by the island’s unique terroir. The archipelago of São Tomé and Príncipe was one of the first territories where the Portuguese introduced cocoa cultivation in the 19th century, establishing a deep connection between Lusophone cultures and the global chocolate trade. Choosing this ingredient pays tribute to that shared history.
Azores Pineapple DOP: The Slow Sweetness of the Atlantic
Azores Pineapple (DOP) is a gem of Portuguese agriculture, grown exclusively on São Miguel Island. Cultivated in traditional glass greenhouses—unique in Europe—the pineapples mature slowly, sometimes taking up to two years. This extended ripening process results in a complex flavor profile, balancing intense sweetness with fresh acidity, and a highly distinctive aroma. Its small size, thin skin, and juicy texture make it truly one-of-a-kind. Including it in our chocolate spreads honors patience, craftsmanship, and the value of time.
Algarve Orange PGI: The Sun of the South in Every Slice
The Algarve Orange (PGI) is a symbol of freshness and vitality. Its thin, glossy peel, abundant juice, and naturally sweet flavor are the result of the sunny, mild climate of southern Portugal. Harvested at peak ripeness and grown using traditional farming methods, it offers exceptional taste and aroma. Its PGI certification guarantees both origin and authenticity, securing its place in Portuguese cuisine—now reinvented in the form of chocolate spread.
Fundão Cherry PGI: Mountain Fruit with a Taste of Tradition
Amid the hills and valleys of the Beira Interior region, the Fundão Cherry (PGI) flourishes with vivid color, firm texture, and a perfect sweet-tart balance. Carefully hand-picked near the Gardunha Mountains, these cherries benefit from ideal growing conditions. The PGI certification reflects both their regional identity and commitment to sustainable agriculture. More than a summer fruit, Fundão cherries are a proud symbol of authentic Portuguese flavors, now reimagined in a bold pairing with brandy and dark chocolate.
Port Wine: The Essence of the Douro in a Single Sip
Port Wine is one of the crown jewels of Portuguese gastronomy. Produced exclusively in the Douro Demarcated Region—the oldest in the world—this fortified wine is made by adding grape brandy during fermentation, preserving the natural sugars of the fruit. The result is a rich, aromatic wine with notes of dried fruits, spices, vanilla, and oak. Aged in barrels, it develops remarkable depth and elegance. Internationally celebrated, Port Wine is a true ambassador of Portugal and brings sophistication to our chocolate spreads.
Portugal in Every Ingredient: Flavor, Memory, and Origin
With every bite of the Travel Kit 6 São Tomé Dark Chocolate Spreads, you're tasting more than just chocolate—you’re experiencing the land, the climate, the tradition, and the excellence of Portuguese cuisine.
