São Tomé Dark Chocolate

Recognized as one of the most intense and aromatic cocoas in the world, São Tomé dark chocolate has historical roots linked to Portugal since the 15th century, when the island became one of the main cocoa cultivation sites. This connection is part of the collective memory of the Age of Discovery, when tropical products arrived in Europe and shaped our culinary culture.

With 70% cocoa, this chocolate presents deep notes of coffee, dark fruits, and spices, offering rare intensity and an exceptional organoleptic profile. Its dense, creamy texture makes it the perfect base for innovative creations such as the meia.dúzia® artisanal chocolate spreads, where it gains new dimensions through the fusion with Portuguese fruits and wines.

Over the centuries, São Tomé cocoa has become a symbol of quality and authenticity, internationally recognized by chefs and experts. In Portugal, it has been incorporated into confectionery and fine pastry, where it combines with local ingredients to create sophisticated desserts. This union of worlds makes São Tomé dark chocolate more than just an ingredient — it is a living heritage of our history.

In this pack, chocolate takes center stage, blending with passion fruit, orange, and cherry in combinations that balance exoticism and tradition. It proves how Portugal continues to be a crossroads of cultures, celebrating in the present a heritage that spans centuries of flavor.

Passion Fruit from Madeira

Passion fruit from Madeira is a tropical fruit that found in the island’s sunny slopes the perfect environment to grow. With juicy pulp and a vibrant aroma, it balances sweetness and acidity in a unique way, symbolizing the freshness and authenticity of Madeiran agriculture. Its versatility allows it to be used in juices, desserts, and jams, and it is also recognized as a signature ingredient in fine gastronomy.

In the chocolate spread, passion fruit contrasts with the intensity of São Tomé cocoa, creating an exotic and sophisticated fusion. This dialogue between tropical freshness and the richness of dark chocolate turns every spoonful into a memorable experience, celebrating the link between the Portuguese Atlantic and the flavors of the world.

Algarve Orange (PGI)

The Algarve Orange (PGI) is renowned for its exceptional quality, the result of the region’s mild climate, abundant sunshine, and fertile southern soils. Rich in juice and perfectly balanced between sweetness and acidity, it stands out for its fresh, intense aroma — a true icon of Portuguese fruit growing. Its reputation crosses borders, establishing the Algarve as one of Europe’s most prestigious citrus-producing regions.

In the chocolate spread, the orange adds vitality and lightness, balancing the density of dark cocoa with an enveloping citrus freshness. This classic and timeless combination gains a new artisanal and Portuguese expression here, uniting the Mediterranean heritage with one of the finest cocoas in the world.

Fundão Cherry (PGI)

The Fundão Cherry is one of Portugal’s most emblematic fruits, cultivated in the fertile valleys of Cova da Beira, where the mountain microclimate gives it an intense color, fleshy texture, and naturally sweet flavor. With PGI certification, it has become a symbol of excellence and tradition, appreciated both fresh and in artisanal desserts and jams.

In the chocolate spread, the Fundão cherry adds freshness and elegance, creating a perfect fusion with the intensity of cocoa and the refined warmth of brandy. The result is a complex, enveloping flavor that expresses Portuguese identity in an irresistible combination.

Portuguese Brandy

Produced from the distillation of select grapes and aged slowly in oak barrels, Portuguese brandy is a spirit of great tradition and prestige. The notes of dried fruits, vanilla, and spices result from an artisanal process passed down through generations, reflecting the accumulated knowledge of Portuguese winemaking.

In the chocolate spread with cherry, the brandy adds warmth, depth, and sophistication. Its vinous and aromatic character completes the fusion between fruit and cocoa, elevating the tasting experience to a uniquely refined level.
