Feitoria do Cacao is a Portuguese chocolate maker known for its authentic bean-to-bar approach that covers every stage of production - from selecting raw cacao beans to handcrafting and packaging each bar. The brand was founded by Tomoko Suga and Sue Tavares, inspired by their experiences on cacao plantations in São Tomé and Príncipe, where they witnessed both the challenges and the beauty of cacao cultivation.

Their mission is to express the pure connection between the land of origin, the producers, and the consumers through chocolate. Feitoria do Cacao uses only high-quality, hand-selected beans sourced from different countries - such as Peru, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Madagascar - giving each chocolate a unique sensory fingerprint that reflects its terroir.

Production takes place in small batches, without emulsifiers or artificial additives, to preserve the natural aromas and texture of cacao. Their dark, milk, and white chocolates are distinguished by an exceptional balance of flavor, often enhanced with local ingredients like sea salt, coffee, or traditional Portuguese notes.

The brand’s studio is open to visitors for tastings and workshops, offering an immersive experience where guests can feel the aroma, texture, and flavor of freshly made chocolate. Today, Feitoria do Cacao represents a new generation of Portuguese artisan chocolatiers - those who unite art, science, and ethics into a perfectly balanced chocolate form.
