São Tomé Dark Chocolate: A Historical Connection to Portugal
The dark chocolate used by meia.dúzia® comes from São Tomé, known as the “Island of Cocoa.” Its connection to Portugal dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries, when the archipelago became a crossroads of cultures, trade routes, and agricultural knowledge. São Tomé cocoa, of fine variety and intense aroma, is recognized worldwide for its purity and complexity.
With 70% cocoa, São Tomé chocolate is rich and enveloping, with notes of coffee and dried fruits. Its combination with Portuguese ingredients — Azores pineapple, local strawberries, and fortified wine — creates the perfect harmony between tropical flavor, Atlantic freshness, and national tradition.
At Christmas, this connection takes on special meaning: it unites history, flavor, and sharing. Each tube pays homage to origins, lusophony, and the art of turning nature’s best into sweet and authentic moments.

Handcrafted with care, meia.dúzia® chocolate spreads respect natural balance and traditional preparation time. Free from artificial colors, preservatives, or additives, each batch is made with passion, preserving the genuine taste of cocoa and Portuguese fruits.
