🍀 São Tomé Dark Chocolate: An Aphrodisiac Journey to the Cocoa Paradise 🍀
The Origin of São Tomé Dark Chocolate
São Tomé cocoa has a history deeply connected to Portugal, which introduced cocoa plantations to the islands during the colonial period. Known as the "Cocoa Island," São Tomé became one of the world's largest producers, exporting superior quality cocoa that continues to be highly valued by the best chocolate experts.
The island, with its tropical climate and rich soils, provides the perfect conditions for growing premium cocoa. This cocoa is the base for the spreads in the Chocolate Lovers Kit, guaranteeing an authentic and unmistakable flavour.
Flavour Characteristics of São Tomé Chocolate
São Tomé dark chocolate stands out for its deep, intense flavour. With notes of coffee and blackberries, it is a complex chocolate, perfect for those who appreciate the richness and density of 100% cocoa.
Unlike common dark chocolates, São Tomé cocoa provides a unique experience that engages all the senses. Its creamy texture fills the palate with an explosion of subtle, sophisticated flavours, transporting you to an unforgettable sensory journey.
This chocolate is not only a gustatory pleasure; it is an emotional experience and a love declaration to the palate, perfect for celebrating Valentine's Day.

Origin of raw materials
- Origin of São Tomé dark chocolate: Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe was discovered in 1470 by Portuguese navigators, João de Santarém and Pedro Escobar. It was a Portuguese colony until July 12, 1975, when the islands gained their independence. Cocoa is another of the points that unites these two peoples, since it was Portugal that introduced these plantations to the islands. São Tomé ended up being known as the “Cocoa Island”. For this reason, the culture of these two islands continues to be linked by a common past and language.
- Flavor Traits: 'São Tomé' dark chocolate is bitter, with an aroma of coffee and blackberries, a chocolate with a unique and intense flavor, made with customers who prefer pure and traditional chocolate in mind. Despite having a similar appearance to other dark chocolates, it has a flavor that is nothing like these, and that makes us travel through new sensations. It is 100% cocoa and, unlike the dark chocolates on the market, it has a very strong density and flavor. When we taste it for the first time, we are transported to an absolutely unexpected twist of the senses. It is neither sweet nor bitter, its texture fills your mouth with a paste filled with unique flavor notes.
- Origin of Fruits: Pineapple from Azores – São Miguel Island in Azores - Portugal, Cherry from Fundão – Fundão - Portugal, Orange from Algarve – Algarve - Portugal, Passion Fruit from Madeira – Madeira Island Portugal, Organic Blueberries and Blackberries – V. N. Famalicão in Northern Portugal.
