Feitoria do Cacao is a Portuguese chocolate maker specializing in bean-to-bar chocolate, with an approach that involves overseeing every stage of the process, from the cacao bean to the bar. Based in Vagos, Portugal, the brand offers an original creation inspired by the famous pastel de nata: a 57% cacao milk chocolate with flakes of puff pastry, lemon and cinnamon. This creation is now one of the iconic Portuguese chocolates offered by Lusobox. Feitoria do Cacao: Portuguese bean-to-bar chocolate maker The story of Feitoria do Cacao began with love at first sight. During a trip to São Tomé and Príncipe, founders Tomoko and Sue discovered the unvarnished reality of cacao: the majestic beauty of the plantations contrasted with the difficult living conditions of the farmers. That trip inspired a mission: to create Portugal's first "Bean-to-Bar" chocolate. From their workshop in Vagos, they oversee every stage: carefully selecting the beans, slow roasting, stone grinding and hand molding. No emulsifiers, no artificial flavors. Just pure cacao, respect for the terroir and fair compensation for producers. Since 2017, this commitment has earned them consistent recognition at leading international competitions. Feitoria do Cacao's Pastel de Nata chocolate How do you pay tribute to Portuguese heritage while remaining true to the excellence of artisanal chocolate? The answer is an adventurous chocolate bar that captures the essence of the country's most famous dessert. Exceptional Cacao: Nicaragua 57% For this creation, Feitoria do Cacao chose beans from Nicaragua. This milk chocolate, with an exceptional cacao content of 57%, offers rare intensity. It develops notes of hazelnut and red fruit that provide a robust foundation for the pastry's sweetness. The Secret to the Crunch: A Partnership with Padaria AZEDA A Pastel de Nata is nothing without its layers of puff pastry. To recreate this legendary texture, the brand works with artisan bakery AZEDA. Their hand-worked puff pastry is delicately broken into pieces and folded into the chocolate. A Symphony of Flavors Every bite offers the full experience: The Creaminess: The smoothness of high-quality milk chocolate. The Crunch: Flakes of AZEDA puff pastry. The Signature: A subtle touch of lemon and a hint of cinnamon, instantly bringing to mind the taste of a Pastel fresh from the oven. Bronze Medal in 2024 and Gold Medal in 2026🏆 Proof of its unique character and technical mastery, this "Pastel de Nata" bar proudly won the Bronze Award in 2024 and Gold Award in 2026 at the "International Chocolate Awards".
