Nutricafes

Nicola and Chave D’Ouro are two of the oldest and famous Portuguese brands, the first existing since 1779 and the second since 1916. The birth of both brands goes back to traditional coffeehouses in the downtown area of Lisbon that roasted coffee daily. Later both invested in production units and in the commercialization of coffee. Today we are a leading service provider of hot drinks and the second Portuguese largest operator in the Portuguese coffee market where both brands have an important recognition and market share. Our main activities include roasting, grinding, packaging and distribution.

Nicola and Chave D’Ouro have countrywide coverage and multichannel distribution reaching over 10.000 clients with over 1 million coffees served every day. The most relevant values of the brands are strongly linked to Experience, Innovation, Relationship, Ethics and Dedication. Both brands are focused on developing the coffee business, creating solutions that attract consumers and generate profitability, through experience, quality of products, flexibility and true spirit of business partnership. Through a variety of coffee blends with different intensities and features, we have segmented portfolios depending on the channel where we are operating.

In the last three years the capsule segment has grown and Nutricafés is today one of the leaders in capsules that are compatible with Nespresso* Coffee machines.

The focus on exportation has been more relevant in the last years and today we are present in more than 30 countries worldwide through distributors or relevant partnerships with significant retail chains.  Our focus on the international markets is very important and both brands plan to continue investing in a presence abroad. Our tradition and knowledge in roasting and blending coffee of different origins has been greatly appreciated and we assist a worldwide growing interest especially in our espresso coffee.
