The Negrinha do Douro olive, of Protected Domination of Origin (PDO), is grown in olive groves on the steep slopes of the Douro Valley region, northern Portugal, in a hot, dry climate and on schist soils. This olive, round and smooth, with a firm consistency, weighing an average of 3 to 5 grams each, has a yellowish-green to violet-black color, depending on the state of maturation. It is harvested manually on the slopes of the Douro Valley.

Rosemary and eucalyptus honey, more aromatic than other honeys, has a light brown tone and a more open aroma and palate.

Originating in North and Central America, where it is still one of the mainstays of food, the pumpkin belongs to the same family as the melon and watermelon (cucurbits). The shape of the pumpkin is variable, but it is usually ovoid or oblong. The rind is usually orange, but it can have other colors depending on the species. The bright orange color of the pumpkin contains a high content of carotenes, particularly beta-carotene, with antioxidant action. Beta carotene is then converted into vitamin A in the body.

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.
