help Feitoria do Cacao FAQ
Is Feitoria do Cacao a Brazilian chocolate maker?
No. Feitoria do Cacao is a Portuguese bean-to-bar company founded by Tomoko Suga and Sue Tavares after a trip to São Tomé and Príncipe.
Where does Feitoria do Cacao obtain its cocoa beans?
The company works with cacao from multiple origins and emphasizes direct relationships, quality, and paying producers above commodity-market prices. Individual bars identify their origin, so the source may be São Tomé, Colombia, Venezuela, or another producing region rather than Brazil.
What does bean-to-bar mean for Feitoria do Cacao?
It means the maker controls the transformation from selected cacao beans through roasting, grinding, refining, conching, tempering, and molding. This differs from chocolatiers who buy ready-made couverture and reshape or flavor it.
Why do Feitoria do Cacao bars from different origins taste different?
Cacao genetics, soil, climate, fermentation, drying, roasting, and recipe all affect flavor. A single-origin bar is designed to highlight those differences instead of blending beans until every batch tastes uniform.
