FETORIA DO CACAO (Portugal)

IFeitoria do Cacao is a small-batch, bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in Aveiro, Portugal, founded by Portuguese chocolatier Sue Tavares and Japanese chocolatier Tomoko Suga.

The brand combines Portuguese craftsmanship with Japanese sensibility, creating elegant and distinctive chocolates that celebrate both exceptional cacao and carefully selected ingredients. Their approach is artisanal and highly hands-on, with production kept deliberately small to maintain close attention to every stage of the chocolate-making process.

Feitoria do Cacao is particularly known for its creative use of flavours alongside fine cacao, bringing together ingredients and inspirations from Portugal and Japan. Their chocolates have included Portuguese fleur de sel, Japanese matcha and sencha, goat's milk and other carefully chosen ingredients.
