Discover the Origins and Identity of the Ingredients

The PACK 3 Chocolate Spreads – Great Taste – Christmas Ball brings together ingredients that tell stories of authenticity, tradition, and the connection between Portugal and the world. Each flavor is born from the fusion of São Tomé dark chocolate and premium Portuguese products — a tribute to the country’s agricultural heritage and the historic trade routes that united flavors and cultures.

More than a gift, this set is a sensory journey through the origins and identity of its ingredients. Each tube reflects the richness of Portuguese lands and the historical legacy of African cocoa, transformed with mastery and passion into flavors that warm the Christmas season.

São Tomé Dark Chocolate

São Tomé dark chocolate is globally recognized for its purity and intensity. With 70% cocoa, it offers an elegant bitterness, deep notes of coffee and dark berries, and a dense, creamy texture. Heir to the cocoa-growing history of the archipelago — once known as the “Island of Cocoa” — this chocolate embodies a distinctive identity, perfect for those who appreciate an authentic and characterful taste.

Its origin is deeply linked to Portuguese history and the Age of Discovery. The islands of São Tomé and Príncipe were discovered in 1470 by Portuguese navigators João de Santarém and Pedro Escobar, and it was Portugal that introduced the cocoa plantations that made the archipelago famous for its exceptional quality. Today, São Tomé cocoa remains a symbol of excellence — the perfect foundation for an intense and truly Portuguese experience.

Azores Pineapple (PDO)

The Azores Pineapple (PDO), cultivated in traditional greenhouses on São Miguel Island, is one of the jewels of Portuguese agriculture. Distinguished by its intense aroma, balanced acidity, and natural sweetness, it is the result of a slow, careful ripening process that preserves all its tropical freshness and unmistakable aromatic profile.

Produced using artisanal methods, this unique pineapple adds an exotic and vibrant dimension to dark chocolate, elevating the result to a fusion between Atlantic freshness and cocoa intensity. This tropical contrast makes the spread an unforgettable experience, full of flavor and authenticity.

Santo André Strawberry

The Santo André Strawberry stands out for its wild aroma, delicate texture, and perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Harvested at peak ripeness, it retains the freshness and vibrant color that have made it one of the most beloved fruits in contemporary Portuguese confectionery.

Its combination with dark chocolate creates a perfect duality between the refined bitterness of cocoa and the natural sweetness of the strawberry, enhanced by the warm touch of chilli. The result is a bold and passionate flavor that expresses the creative and welcoming spirit of the Portuguese table.

Chilli Pepper

The Chilli Pepper adds warmth, intensity, and an exotic note that awakens the senses. Used in moderation, it harmonizes with chocolate and fruit, creating a rich, vibrant aromatic profile. Its slightly smoky notes and lingering heat elevate the tasting experience, resulting in a sophisticated and sensual fusion.

It’s the ingredient that brings boldness to tradition, evoking the maritime routes that carried Portuguese spices and unique flavors across the world. A tribute to Portugal’s history and its passion for ingredients that warm both body and soul.

Blueberries from Vila Nova de Famalicão

The Blueberries from Vila Nova de Famalicão are grown in northern Portugal on family-owned farms where seasonality and respect for nature are paramount. Known for their deep color, juicy texture, and balanced sweetness and acidity, these small fruits add freshness and lightness to the rich profile of dark chocolate.

Local production ensures quality and authenticity, reflecting the brand’s commitment to the land and sustainability. Portuguese blueberries form the perfect bridge between agricultural tradition and innovation, elevating the chocolate’s flavor with elegance and national identity.

Port Wine

Port Wine, produced in the Douro Demarcated Region — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is a symbol of the Portuguese soul. This noble fortified wine is born from the centuries-old art of terraced vineyards and the patient aging in wooden barrels, which give it notes of dried fruits, vanilla, and spices.

Its union with blueberry and São Tomé dark chocolate creates perfect harmony between freshness, sweetness, and vinous warmth. The result is a spread that embodies the essence of Portuguese tradition: intensity, elegance, and aromatic depth. A tribute to Portugal’s most iconic wine and to the flavor that enriches every Christmas celebration.
