São Tomé Dark Chocolate Spread with Passion Fruit
Description
The São Tomé Dark Chocolate Spread with Passion Fruit is a unique experience that combines the intensity of the finest African cocoa with the tropical freshness of this Madeira fruit. On tasting, the first sensation is that of São Tomé dark chocolate with 70% cocoa — bitter, deep, and with notes of coffee and dark fruits. Then comes the vibrant contrast of passion fruit, with its juicy pulp, sweet and slightly acidic, awakening the palate and adding lightness and exoticism.
The balance between the bitterness of cocoa and the tropical acidity of passion fruit creates a surprising and sophisticated tasting experience, marked by freshness, intensity, and a lingering finish that invites another spoonful. The creamy texture of the spread delicately envelops the palate, while the citrus and fruity notes of passion fruit brighten the density of the chocolate, resulting in a fusion of flavors that complement each other perfectly.
This artisanal spread is versatile and full of character, ideal for moments of indulgence and creative gastronomic experiences. It can be enjoyed simply, spread on cookies, multigrain bread, or croissants, but also transforms desserts such as macarons, tiramisù, pavlovas, or cheesecakes into fresher and more unexpected creations. As a topping for pancakes, waffles, or tropical fruit cakes, it reveals its full potential. For the more daring, the tasting reaches another level when used in meat fondues with game or duck, creating a bold and memorable sweet-and-sour contrast.
Handcrafted and 100% natural, with no additives or dyes, this spread celebrates the excellence of Portuguese ingredients and confectionery tradition with innovation. Packaged in recycled aluminum, it reflects a commitment to sustainability, ensuring that every tasting is not only an intense pleasure but also a conscious choice.
Suggested Use
The São Tomé Dark Chocolate Spread with Passion Fruit is extremely versatile and transforms any tasting into a gourmet experience. Spread on oat or coconut cookies, cashew biscuits, or vegan crackers, it offers a delicious contrast between the intensity of chocolate and the tropical freshness of passion fruit. On multigrain bread or whole wheat toasts, it turns breakfast or snack time into a sophisticated moment, full of energy and flavor.
As a filling, it reveals its full potential in chocolate, tropical fruit, or even vanilla macarons, creating a delicate fusion of textures and aromas. In chocolate cakes or creamy desserts with mascarpone and quark, it adds an exotic touch that elevates traditional recipes like tiramisù to another level. It can also be used in red fruit cheesecakes, pavlovas with mango, or passion fruit tarts, where the balance between acidity and bitterness becomes even more expressive.
As a topping, it is ideal for American, oat, or banana pancakes, as well as waffles and bubble waffles, adding tropical freshness and cocoa intensity. In chocolate or red fruit cakes, it enhances already rich flavors, but also pairs surprisingly well with carrot or spice cakes, where passion fruit brightens the density of chocolate. For frozen desserts, such as vanilla or coconut ice cream, it works as an irresistible topping.
For the more adventurous, this spread opens the door to savory and unexpected combinations. In meat fondues with game, roasted duck, foie gras, or even wild boar, it creates an intense and sophisticated sweet-and-sour contrast. It is also excellent alongside cheese boards with strong and aged cheeses, such as gorgonzola or goat cheese, where the acidic freshness of passion fruit softens the bitterness and enriches the tasting. A versatile, creative, and characterful suggestion that celebrates the Flavors of Portugal in harmony with tropical exuberance.
