It all began with a small production of these specialities to sell exclusively in the famous city’s Fruit Square and Mr. Loureiro’s Java Pastry, in the historic centre. Plus, with the high tourist flow, the sales would get as high as 200kg of Cavacas sold per weekend.
With the passing of the years, production was increasing and began to sell to many of the city’s pastry shops, expanding later to several points of Portugal.
In 2012 came the opportunity to acquire a neighbouring company, Monte Verde, Ltd. (located in Relvas, Santa Catarina), which produced traditional Wafers, the former vanilla cookie, thus increasing our range of products.
Still in 2012, we launched ourselves in search of new markets. Initially to the well-known markets of France, England, Germany, Switzerland and started working with the major distributions: central purchasing agencies.
The year of 2013 was when we expanded our facilities in Caldas da Rainha and began the dream of modernization.
In 2016 we installed our first continuous furnace to produce thinner Wafers which brought new customers that came looking for this product. In this same year we advanced with the purchase of a plot of land in the Industrial Zone of Santa Cecília, near Caldas da Rainha and started the construction of our new facilities that we expect to be completed in the end of 2017, with the purpose of unifying efforts, maximize, modernize and improve production procedures along with increasing our production to better serve our clients.
