What do the Portuguese eat? Traditions at the table and the special place of chocolate

Portuguese cuisine is rich, varied and full of flavours that reflect the country's culture and history. From traditional dishes such as cod , feijoada à transmontana and seafood rice , to convent sweets such as pastéis de nata , Portuguese food is rooted in tradition and quality ingredients.

But beyond these traditional dishes, there is something that unites Portuguese people of all ages and regions: their love for chocolate . Whether as a dessert, a snack or simply as a moment of pleasure, chocolate has a special place in our daily diet.

In Portugal, chocolate consumption has been growing, with a notable preference for purer and more sustainably sourced products, such as those produced by Alma do Cacau .

Quality chocolate, made only with cocoa and coconut sugar, is gaining ground among consumers looking for healthier and more authentic products.

Furthermore, the emotional connection that chocolate provides means that it is present in moments of sharing and celebration, becoming an essential part of Portuguese gastronomic culture.

Whether to accompany a coffee, as a special gift or simply to enjoy a moment of pleasure, the Portuguese are increasingly showing interest in chocolates of ethical and sustainable origin.

Alma do Cacau is committed to exactly this, bringing to the market pure and authentic chocolate that values both the flavor and the origin of the cocoa.
