These are the elements that will leave a lasting impression, not only on the bride and groom but also their guests.
That's exactly where Pedaços de Cacau and Sweet Portugal shine by transforming artisanal chocolates and traditional treats into heartfelt memories your guests will treasure forever.
From a hobby to a heartfelt journey
Pedaços de Cacau is a Portuguese brand devoted to creating gourmet and handmade chocolates with exceptional ingredients and emotional depth. Each bonbon, bar, or crisp is carefully created to offer a unique and authentic experience, combining the tradition of our country with the innovation of the moment.
Its story began in 2014, when Raquel - the founder of the company - started making chocolates as a creative escape where the artist could bring to life her own recipes.
“But before ling, this love of chocolate took over my life, leading me to make a bold decision: leave a 13-year old career to follow my true passion", shared Raquel with Zankyou.
Recently, in 2023, Pedaços de Cacau expanded with the launch of Sweet Portugal, a sister brand that celebrates our beautiful country heritage with beautifully packaged goods: from traditional cookies and jams to artisanal preserves, all housed in charming tins shaped like the typical Portuguese houses.
Unforgettable favors for unforgettable weddings

"We strive to create wedding favours that touch the hearts of the bride and groom, as well as their guests, awakening curiosity and enchantment for our country", shares Raquel.
Among the most popular, these projects offer the following:
-
Elegant boxes with two handcrafted bonbons, featuring personalized lids with messages from the couple.
-
Mini gift baskets that pair Pedaços de Cacau chocolates with Sweet Portugal specialties like honey, sardine tins, or traditional jams.
