Pauperio cookies are more than just a delicious treat – they are a piece of living Portuguese history. Founded in 1874 in Valongo by António de Sousa Malta Paupério and Joaquim Carlos Figueira, the Fábrica de Biscoitos Paupério has grown over six generations into a renowned family bakery, celebrated worldwide for its handcrafted cookies. Just a few years after its founding, the company won awards at international exhibitions in Philadelphia, Rio de Janeiro, and Porto.

A highlight of the company’s history is the creation of the Tosta Rainha, developed for a royal reception to honor Princess D. Amélia de Orléans – a specialty that remains a classic to this day.

Every Pauperio cookie is made using traditional methods, with carefully selected ingredients such as fine flour, premium butter, and subtle spices. The result: delicate crispiness, harmonious sweetness, and nuanced flavors – a taste that makes every moment special.

The cookies are not only a delight for the palate but also a piece of Portuguese culture and craftsmanship. Perfect for afternoon coffee, a small snack, or as a thoughtful gift, Pauperio cookies bring over 150 years of family tradition and authentic Portuguese heritage straight to your home.
