Nau do Cacau® chocolates stand out for the use of organic ingredients, making them a special product as only 2% of cocoa produced worldwide is organically certified.

We insist on using only the best varieties of cocoa, sourced from select origins worldwide, chosen for their quality and rarity.

All other ingredients, such as hazelnuts from Turkey, ginger from Fiji, pepper from Jamaica and coffee from Colombia, undergo a similarly careful selection process to achieve an exceptional product.

With an intense flavor, it is an ethical and high-quality product.

It is well-known that continuous exposure to chemicals used in conventional agriculture is harmful to our health (and the environment).

Hence, the preference for organic cultivation, without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic chemical fertilizers. This results in high-quality chocolate, free from toxic residues and with a purer taste.

The production of organic chocolate also supports the preservation of genetic diversity in cocoa varieties, which is important for maintaining the richness of flavors.

All Nau do Cacau® products are organically certified, monitored by an accredited entity: Kiwa Sativa (PT-BIO-03).

The production of organic chocolate follows more sustainable agricultural practices, aiming to preserve soil biodiversity, promote water conservation and protect natural ecosystems. Additionally, organic methods help reduce soil and water pollution. There is, therefore, a reduction in the waste of natural resources, contributing to environmental preservation.

Simultaneously, organic standards encourage fair payment and suitable working conditions for producers, who are also free from contact with toxic chemicals.

Our chocolate is produced respecting social standards and contributing to the avoidance of child labor in cocoa plantations.

Furthermore, our packaging is 100% compostable (except mini-tablets)!

Our products are handmade, crafted, shaped and packaged manually, paying attention to every detail of each package.

The artisanal production of chocolate has several advantages compared to industrially produced chocolate on a large scale, including:

• Use of high-quality ingredients, with total control over them, resulting in premium products and unique flavors.
• Total control over the production process, from the selection of cocoa beans to tempering and molding the chocolate, allowing adjustments to methods and techniques to achieve the best possible taste and texture.
• Customization and creativity: as artisan chocolate makers, we have the freedom to experiment and create unique flavors and combinations, resulting in exclusive and delicious chocolates.
• Environmental preservation, due to organic and sustainable production.
• Greater quality control, as it is a small-scale production, allowing careful monitoring and adjustments to each batch of chocolate, resulting in a high-quality final product.
• Support for small producers, helping to preserve traditional chocolate-making techniques and promoting diversity and authenticity in the market.

The artisanal production of our chocolate bars is guaranteed by the Artisan Production Unit Chart and Artisan Chart we possess, issued by CEARTE, in accordance with applicable national legislation.

Our chocolates, unlike industrially manufactured ones, may show slight differences, highlighting the manual craftsmanship.

Located in Leiria, we seek the best organic cocoa in the world.
