🛒Online + Porto Store: mon to sat from 10am to 6pm

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

On repeat visits to a city, I enjoy layering my explorations beyond the traditional, making room for places that reflect my interests. This time, I set aside a few hours for a single-origin chocolate tasting at @beglad.pt, a bean-to-bar chocolate laboratory and shop founded by two sisters from Rio de Janeiro, Katrin and Marcella, in Porto in 2023.

I’d already had the pleasure of trying a couple of their creations in Lisbon, including the cacao husk infusion that now permanently lives on my kitchen shelf, so visiting their Porto space felt like the natural next step.

@lucas.barista guided us through the bean-to-bar process, patiently answering all our questions before leading us through a tasting of four single-origin chocolate bars and three drinking chocolates. It was a wonderful reminder that chocolate, much like coffee or wine, has an incredible capacity to express terroir, origin and culture.

Worth a visit for the chocolate alone — but the thoughtful branding, packaging and shop design are an added pleasure. taken in Porto, Portugal by @beglad.pt

GLAD | Porto

No Porto visitámos a GLAD, um projeto dedicado ao chocolate bean-to-bar, onde cada cacau é trabalhado desde a origem para preservar os seus aromas, sabores e personalidade.

Uma forma de entender o chocolate que sentimos muito próxima da nossa forma de entender o café: respeito pela matéria-prima, conhecimento, cuidado em cada processo e muita vontade de partilhar o resultado. by @beglad.pt

We tried to make white chocolate. It turned pink.

Origin cacao butter meets the same raspberry from our Raspberry 70%, one of our best sellers.
Still vegan. Still just a few honest ingredients.

Like coffee and wine, chocolate has terroir. 🍫🌍

Altitude, soil, rain and climate all shape how cacao tastes. That’s why a bar from Madagascar bursts with red fruit, while one from Ecuador feels nutty, even with the exact same recipe.

Want to taste the difference? Our mini chocolate box brings together 4 origins at the same percentage.
Same recipe, different world.

Plan A is coffee and chocolate at our store in Porto.
The other Plan A is ordering online and opening it at home with someone you like. No Plan B.

How many chocolates should you eat?
At least two, one for each origin you’re comparing.

Our Mini Chocolate Box has four: same 70% cacao, same recipe, four different origins. What changes is everything the bean absorbed before it reached us: the soil, the climate, the fermentation. That’s terroir in a bite!

Want to go deeper? The Single Origin Discovery Set brings you full bars of all four.

Available in store and online. taken in GLAD by @beglad.pt

Two ways to enjoy our chocolate: break off a piece, or melt it into your cup. You can have it warm on a slow morning or iced when it’s too hot for anything else.

We have three drinking chocolates: 70%, 85% and 100% cacao 🤯

Find us at our Porto store or order online. taken in GLAD by @beglad.pt

This combination earned us an award in 2023: coffee, oats & cacao nibs.

Basically an oat milk mocha. But a bar! 🤤
