About us
We are a unique bean-to-boutique artisanal chocolate brand. Our chocolate is a call to the senses and the awakening of the emotions, in successive suggestions that are combined in a moment of relaxation and pleasure. We are committed to the quality of cocoa, ensuring the vertical integration of the entire chocolate transformation process, from the plantation to our stores.
Our chocolate bars are handcrafted and packaged. In each of them we put all our experience and dedication. The combinations are varied and amazing. With different percentages of cocoa and various varieties, each combination is surprising to the eye and taste.
Our Tree to Bar chocolate is made with cocoa that grows on our plantation in São Tomé & Príncipe. All the steps of this process are carried out with the utmost care so that the chocolate retains all its aromatic richness and the main characteristics of this variety.
The chocolate shop is born from the brand's desire to return to its origins. That is why cocoa is harvested on the african plantation and the rest of the process takes place in our workshop, located in the city of Porto, in Portugal. The mission of Chocolataria Equador is to restore the international prestige of cocoa from the islands of São Tomé & Príncipe and give it a degree of excellence.
We are committed to the quality of cocoa and the recovery of the varieties that the portuguese originally brought to Europe in 1850. Our main cocoa variety is amelonado, with a rich and complex profile and marked aromas of pure chocolate without additives. The final product retains its original characteristics, as we only add cocoa butter, unrefined cane sugar and Madagascar vanilla.
