About SIM Chocolate
FROM THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE BETWEEN A MOTHER AND HER DAUGHTER, A BRAND WAS BORN TO CELEBRATE ALL OF LIFE'S MOMENTS
Susana Azevedo
Maria Inês
During the 2014 Christmas, Susana Azevedo and her daughter, Maria Inês, tried their hand at making bonbons at home.
Enchanted by the magic of Christmas, they offered their first bonbons to their friends and family, who were delighted. Everyone tried them, said they were good and asked for more! The production of chocolates multiplied and reached fairs and events. And to the creation of the SIM Chocolate brand – the S of Susana and the IM of Maria Inês, representing the unconditional love between mother and daughter and their positive personalities, in a SIM (meaning “yes” in Portuguese) of courage, joy, happiness and gratitude.
The love between mother and daughter didn’t stop at the brand name. Each bonbon is a world of love, in a unique combination of colors, flavors and experiences, creamy on the inside, crunchy on the outside.
FROM ONE FLAVOR TO ANOTHER, THE BONBONS HAVE BECOME A GREAT SUCCESS
In 2017, SIM Chocolate was born in Famalicão, where, in addition to the famous bonbons, you can find all the diversity of products manufactured by the company, from the most traditional to the most daring flavors, and the surprises of the special editions.
In 2019, SIM Chocolate created a production unit to respond to the numerous orders, maintaining the premium quality of its products and creativity in innovation.
The bonbons have become a great success, winning several awards: “bombom melhor dos melhores” by Bombom de Mel; four gold medals “Bombom Vinho do Porto” and “Bombom Banana Amendoim”; “Bombom de Natal”; “Crocantes de Amêndoa Caramelizada”; two silver medals for “Bombom de Queijo e Trufas de Vinhão”; bronze medal for “Bombom de Azeite”, Great Taste 2019, two stars, with “Bombom Coco-Lima” and in 2022 the National Innovation Award with the “Bombom e trufa de Medronho”.
