Sue and Tomoko are the pair behind Feitoria do Cacao. They are based near Porto in Portugal. They do every step of the chocolate making in process by hand, crafting bars in micro-batches.

Tasting notes

This bar has a rich and fruity flavour which hints of dark plums and prunes. The stone fruits are mixed with a more aromatic, herbal note. The delicate and complex chocolate has a wonderfully silky texture which gives for a smooth finish working perfectly with the floral fruit flavours.

This bar achieved a Silver at the Academy of Chocolate Awards 2017.
