During festive seasons, tastes of our lands accompany every celebration. Chocolate, a star product of these traditions, is always present, especially when crafted by hands with more than two centuries of heritage in La Vila Joiosa by Marcos Tonda Chocolates.
Marcos Tonda Chocolates carries forward a chocolate tradition dating back to 1793, when the founding family began crafting chocolate. The iconic Virgin Mary tablet, a symbol of their craft, remains part of the catalog today. The flavor is earthy and aromatic, evoking childhood memories and enduring a long tradition of 230 years.
In 2014 a new group of entrepreneurs joined the family and revived the brand, winning hearts and palates alike ever since. The commitment to quality has guided every step from cacao selection to finished product, and the company earned ISO 22000 to validate its production and marketing processes. This certification opens doors to more homes through diverse distribution channels, ensuring consistent quality across the board.
Beyond the Virgin Mary tablet and the classic cocoa cup, the brand highlights innovative ranges each year, always rooted in quality. They preserve traditional, artisan chocolate while maintaining the highest cacao levels for richer aroma, texture, and flavor.
Marcos Tonda presents a cup of cocoa that lasts a lifetime, embodying its philosophy of flavor and tradition.
The Boama gourmet line delivers deep, intense chocolates with a wide variety of options. It also includes premium lines offering high cacao content and a blend of pure, traditional recipes with bold, exotic touches. Chocolates with rich nuances and textures distinguish the range, valued by connoisseurs and general consumers alike.
Social responsibility is a core pillar. This year a distinctive Spain wide agreement signals a strong commitment to integration and social responsibility. An accord with ONCE makes Marcos Tonda the first chocolate brand to produce products with packaging adapted to Braille and QR codes. Various products from the Premium and Delicatessen ranges, including almond, macadamia, strawberry to cocoa, pure chocolate bonbons, nougat filled milk chocolates, and cinnamon tablet, are available now.
Looking ahead to early 2024, a new chocolate series will expand the portfolio with six pure and extra-fine chocolates. Purchases made online under the ONCE agreement contribute ten percent to the ONCE Foundation for the Care of Deafblind Persons FOAPS. This action marks another step toward improving living conditions and social integration for people with deafblindness.
The company also offers an exquisite range of chocolates for parties and gifts, ideal for celebrations and corporate gifting.
Reference in hotel management is evident as Marcos Tonda Chocolates provide a wide assortment of professional products for hospitality, workshops, and kitchens. This range places Marcos Tonda as a trusted choice among hoteliers, restaurant owners, bakers, and pastry chefs.
Chefs and cooks in the region favor Marcos Tonda for the seamless integration and outstanding finish it brings to dishes. Their Tablet series for the retail sector showcases the finest cocoa, delivering a crunchy bite, a creamy palate, and a slow melt that heightens the taste experience.
Christmas specials are in the works with an exclusive selection of chocolates, boxes, and gifts. The assortment emphasizes meticulous presentation and careful selection to spread happiness and gratitude to loved ones for their efforts throughout the year. The range covers a wide price spectrum to suit every need. It is time to share joy and chocolate.
The company aims to fill homes, workplaces, and businesses with flavor and happiness during the season. A tradition for this time of year includes a curated lineup such as caramelized macadamia tablets, truffle waves, and the Original Selection nougats in Oriental, Traditional, and Mediterranean varieties, alongside new packaging and product innovations. These items are anticipated to be essential on many tables this holiday season.
As the calendar turns, a hopeful New Year arrives with renewed energy and the chance to celebrate with loved ones. Marcos Tonda Chocolates remains committed to handmade premium and gourmet chocolates, as well as party and gift options designed to brighten homes, companies, and events with flavor and joy. May the coming year bring happiness, hope, and shared moments of delight. [Citation: Marcos Tonda Chocolates]
