Origin of raw materials
Rocha Pear PDO is an exclusively Portuguese variety, produced mostly on the West Central Coast of Portugal, with an approximate production area of 10,000 ha. The soil and climate factors and the expertise of the people of the West are crucial conditions for obtaining this product with exceptional organoleptic qualities, which are appreciated and recognized worldwide.
Rocha Pear PDO – Protected Designation of Origin – has the Community recognition as a traditional, quality product, which is an integral part of the Portuguese Cultural Heritage.
Depending on the season of production, figs are called lampos (May and June) and vintage (July/September) . It is a fruit with well-marked organoleptic characteristics, with great nutritional qualities, being rich in vitamins B and C and mineral salts (especially calcium, phosphorus and potassium).
Cinnamon has a warm, pleasantly sweet yet intense aroma. Its flavor is warm and fragrant, reminiscent of cloves and citrus. It presents a light brown color, with touches of bronze. For 200 years, the Portuguese controlled the monopoly on the commercialization of this spice, originally from Sri Lanka.
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.
