Made in Porto, Shop Online: 12 Porto Brands That Ship Abroad

Hello Porto lovers, Baris here. A message I get a lot goes something like this: "I was in Porto last spring, I keep thinking about those sardine tins and that soap, can I get them at home?" The other version comes from friends who live here and need to post a present to their family in Berlin or Boston before December.

The good news is that a lot of what makes Porto shopping fun has an online shop behind it. This guide is for both groups: people who visited and miss the place, and expats who want to send something from their adopted city that isn't a fridge magnet. Every brand below is from Porto or one of the towns that run into it (Gaia, Matosinhos, Gondomar, Vila do Conde), sells through its own website and ships beyond Portugal.

A few ground rules for how I put this together:

• Prices and shipping terms were checked on each brand's own site on 31 October 2026. Shops change prices and couriers, so treat them as a guide and check the basket before you pay.
• Where a brand designs in Porto but makes its products elsewhere in Portugal, I say so.
• None of these links are affiliate links. Nobody paid to be here.

Drink

Churchill's (port wine, Vila Nova de Gaia)

Johnny Graham started Churchill's in 1981, when he was 29, and it is still a family-run house, with its lodge in Gaia and its vineyard, Quinta da Gricha, up in the Douro. It's a young name by port standards, and the style leans drier than most.

The bottle I'd send is the 20 Year Old Tawny at €60: nutty, mellow, and the kind of thing people open at Christmas and remember. For a smaller budget, the Reserve Port is €17.50, and the Dry White Port (€30) is the one to get if the person on the other end liked their white port and tonic on a terrace in Ribeira.

• Ships to: the EU and a long list of countries beyond it. Postage is calculated at checkout.
• Worth knowing: alcohol import rules differ by country, so check yours before sending wine outside the EU.
• Shop: drinkchurchills.com

Senzu Coffee Roasters (coffee, Porto)

Senzu roasts specialty coffee in Porto itself, in small batches. If the person you're buying for came home talking about Porto's coffee more than its port, this is the one.

The Grand Tour Villa Karina (200 g, €20) is a natural-process Wush Wush from Colombia with tasting notes of blackberry, rapadura and yellow plum. For an everyday bag, the house blends Not Only Barista and El Professor are €13 for 250 g.

• Ships to: every EU country plus the UK, Norway and Switzerland, at a flat rate per country group (for example €8 to Germany, the Netherlands, Italy or the UK). No US shipping.
• Shop: shop.senzucoffee.com

Pantry

Conservas Pinhais / NURI (tinned fish, Matosinhos)

Pinhais has been packing sardines by hand at its factory in Matosinhos since 1920, and NURI is its best-known label. Tinned fish is about the most practical edible gift there is: it keeps for ages and it survives the post.

The NURI Giftbox is €28.50 for five 125 g tins (two spiced sardines in olive oil, one plain sardines in olive oil, one spiced in tomato sauce and one in tomato sauce). Single tins start at €4.35 for the sardine pâté; the skinless and boneless spiced sardines in olive oil are €6.95.

• Ships to: worldwide, with rates by weight shown at checkout. To countries like France or Germany a very small parcel starts at about €10, and it climbs quickly with weight, so a gift box costs more to post than a couple of tins.
• Worth knowing: the web shop is run for Pinhais by a sales partner, The Timeless Tin SL, which handles orders and customer service.
• Shop: shop.conservaspinhais.com

Chocolataria Equador (chocolate, Porto brand)

Equador is a Porto chocolate brand with its shop on Rua de Sá da Bandeira, and it works with cacao from São Tomé. The brand and the shop are in Porto; the website doesn't say where the chocolate itself is made, so think of it as designed in Porto and made in Portugal.

The Cabaz Magia hamper (€38.90) has a pack of 73% São Tomé dark chocolate pieces with cacao nibs, a milk chocolate and hazelnut bar, a dark chocolate umbrella and a dark chocolate caramel snack. For something smaller, the box of 15 bonbons is €23.50.

• Ships to: Portugal, Spain and Andorra (from €8.30), most of the EU (€26 for the nearer zone, €34 for the further one), Switzerland (from €57), and the US and Canada (from €50).
• Worth knowing: shipping outside Portugal costs as much as the chocolate, so it makes more sense for a bigger order. Orders placed after Thursday morning wait until Monday, so parcels don't sit in a courier's warehouse over the weekend. Sensible, with chocolate.
• Shop: cacaoequador.pt

Home and body care

Amavela (candles, Porto)

Amavela is a small Porto atelier that makes sculptural soy-wax candles, poured and finished by hand in small batches in its workshop. These are candles you put on a table to look at as much as to burn.

For Christmas the standouts are Carrousel (€59), a carousel-shaped candle with a mulled wine scent, and Aureon (€55), a winged piece Amavela describes as "a golden legend of Porto".

• Ships to: Portugal and the rest of the EU only, for now. Orders take up to 5 days to prepare, and the shipping cost appears at checkout.
• Shop: amavela.pt

Claus Porto (soap and fragrance, founded in Porto in 1887)

Claus Porto is the soap brand with the illustrated paper wrappers, founded in Porto in 1887. The company behind it today, Ach. Brito, is based in Vila do Conde, just north of the city. It's bigger than most names in this guide, but it's from here and it ships almost anywhere.

The Gift Box Classic Edition (€48) has five Musgo Real mini soaps (Alto Mar, 1887, Puro Sangue, Classic Scent and Black Edition) in a black box. It's an easy present for anyone who shaves or likes a barbershop smell. The hand creams are €29 each.

• Ships to: worldwide with DHL, and with UPS in the US. No deliveries to US P.O. boxes.
• Shop: clausporto.com

Couto (toothpaste and cosmetics, Porto and Gaia)

Couto has made its toothpaste since 1932, and the retro tube is half the appeal. The company started in Porto, moved from Largo de São Domingos to an industrial complex in Gaia in 2004, and still makes its products semi-artisanally.

A tube of toothpaste costs between €2.07 and €3.16, which makes it a good stocking filler. For a proper present, the COUTO Essential Ritual Coffret is €42.50.

• Ships to: EU countries, free on orders from €160. Below that, the cost depends on weight and destination and shows at checkout. Delivery within the EU takes up to 6 working days.
• Shop: couto.pt

Tiles and ceramics

Gazete Azulejos (hand-painted tiles, Porto)

If someone fell for the tiled façades, this is the closest you can get to taking one home legally. Gazete paints faithful replicas of historic Portuguese tile patterns by hand in its Porto studio, on semi-handmade pressed tiles. The designs carry Porto street names and door numbers, like Latino Coelho 183 or Santos Pousada 888.

Prices are per tile, including VAT for EU buyers: €8.90 for 10 × 10 cm, €10.90 for 14 × 14 cm and €12.90 for 15 × 15 cm. A handful of tiles makes a set of coasters or a small panel for a kitchen wall.

• How ordering works: there's no instant checkout. You add tiles to a quote request, Gazete confirms the production time and shipping, and then you pay. The tiles are made to order, so for Christmas, ask early.
• Ships to: worldwide, in protective boxes with tracking. Their indicative rate for 50 tiles is €80 within the EU, €92 to the UK and €185 to the rest of the world. International orders ship DAP, which means the buyer pays any import duties on arrival.
• Shop: gazeteazulejos.com

Ana Seixas (ceramics and illustration, Porto)

Ana Seixas is an illustrator and ceramicist with a shop-studio in central Porto, open since 2020. She makes the illustrations and the products herself, and a small team helps produce the ceramics. Her digital prints are printed in Porto too.

The small ceramics are the gifts I'd look at first. Pinky, the Tiny Cat is a hand-painted earthenware cat about 5 cm tall, at €20. The hanging ceramic hearts are €17 and come with a string, ready for a tree. There are also prints, cards and hand-printed T-shirts if ceramics feel risky in the post.

• Ships to: the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, the UK, Israel, the US, Canada, Australia and Japan, by registered CTT mail with tracking.
• Shop: shop.anaseixas.com

Fashion

La Paz (menswear, designed in Porto, made in Portugal)

La Paz was created in Porto in 2011 and does menswear with a fisherman and Atlantic feel: shirts, knits, jackets and tees. The label is designed in Porto, and the brand says it works with local craftsmen to make the clothes in Portugal.

The Botelho from Porto T-shirt (€35) has a photo of palm trees on it and a "Made in Portugal" label. The tote bags are €30 and avoid the whole question of sizes.

• Ships to: worldwide. €10 plus tax to Europe, €16 to the rest of the world, free worldwide over €200.
• Shop: lapaz.pt

Lufalufa (T-shirts, designed in Porto, made in Portugal)

Lufalufa started in Porto in 2015, set up by three creatives with a taste for minimal, geometric graphics. Their T-shirts are designed in Porto and made in Portugal.

Tees are €19, which is the cheapest proper gift in this guide. My pick for anyone who knows the city is Bici/Porto, which Lufalufa describes as "a bicycle that says Porto".

• Ships to: worldwide. Orders leave within 3 working days, and Lufalufa says delivery usually takes 24 to 48 working hours to Portugal, Spain, the EU, the US and Canada.
• Shop: lufalufa.com

Jewellery

Nadir Filigranas (filigree, Gondomar)

Gondomar, on Porto's eastern edge, has a long tradition of gold and silver filigree. Nadir is a family brand founded there in 1982, and its product pages say the pieces are made in Gondomar.

The classic gift is the Coração de Viana, the filigree heart from the north of Portugal. The small Coração de Viana necklace in sterling silver is €52, chain included. The medal on its own is €29.

• Ships to: most countries, with free tracked shipping in Portugal and abroad. They don't ship to Africa or South America.
• Shop: nadir.pt

Before you order

A few practical things that apply to most of the list:

• Outside the EU (UK, US, Switzerland and so on), you or the person receiving the parcel may pay import tax or duties on delivery. Gazete says this outright; for the others, assume it's possible.
• For Christmas, order handmade and made-to-order things (tiles, ceramics, candles) first, and leave the T-shirts and tins for later.
• Chocolate and candles don't like heat. In winter that's not a problem; in summer, think twice about posting them.

More makers coming

This is the first version of the list, and I'll add brands as I check them. If you make things in Porto and sell them online with international shipping, write to me at hello@oportoweekly.com and tell me what you make, where you make it and where you ship.
