Attention chocolate lovers! A new gourmet address has opened its doors in Paris, in the heart of the Abbesses district. It's Dengo, a Brazilian brand revolutionizing the world of cocoa with an ethical and sustainable approach. Born five years ago in Bahia, Dengo arrives in France for the first time with a clear ambition: to offer tasty chocolate while respecting nature and local communities.
Dengo is more than just a chocolatier. Following in the footsteps of the Bean to Bar movement, the Brazilian brand innovates with a unique concept: farmhouse chocolate. It controls the entire manufacturing process, from cocoa cultivation to processing, while guaranteeing a short supply chain. Grown and processed in Brazil, Dengo cocoa offers complete traceability and exceptional quality.
Dengo's project is based on an essential principle: placing small cocoa farmers at the heart of the value chain. The brand is rethinking the entire value chain to guarantee dignified working and living conditions for these farmers. By offering them better remuneration, it is betting on a fairer, more equitable chocolate.
Already well known in Brazil, Dengo is making its debut on the Parisian scene with a boutique in Abbesses and another in Saint Germain des Prés. These warm, inviting places invite you to discover the richness of Brazilian culture through a range of refined, ethical chocolates. The on-site team, passionate about the flavours of cocoa, will share their love of this exceptional product with you.
