Who we are?
We are two partners sharing the same passion for portuguese food delicacies and the growing challenges around this business.
We founded Grocer’s in 2013 , a company focused to take quality food products around Portugal and all over the world, profiting from knowledge acquired over the past 10 years in the food business and in corporate gift market.
In 2014 Grocer’s bought D. Ermelinda Doçaria Portuguesa, a small brand of portuguese traditional delicacies already working in the portuguese market. This was the starting point for moving on a new stage: distribution and direct sales on local markets.
What does D. Ermelinda mean?
Ermelinda is the name of the cook who created the original recipe of pão doce or sweet bread, kept in family secret since 1930. This ancient recipe has been made over generations and today our sweet bread is carefully prepared by her granddaughter.
She developed other artisan recipes like the sponge cake cooked in pottery, the famous portuguese king cake as well as biscuits and cookies.
Portuguese Gastronomic Heritage
We recognize the Portuguese Gastronomic Heritage as one of the most important features of our culture and identity. The inherited taste and aroma of what we have been sensing through our history has been able to endure, reviving memories and behaviours, without any frontiers.
D.ª Ermelinda Portuguese Delicacies is born from the intention of selecting and picking traditional products from our heritage, where quality is purely natural and excellent.
Portuguese Delicacies singularity is something that tells a lot of our culture to the world. And that's what we believe in.
