In 1920, began the production of milk, butter, cheese and whipped cream. It was the first company in the sector to distribute pasteurised milk in glass bottles, at a time when the distribution was done in jars carried on the head. It gained fame and imposed the quality of its products. Butter with salt sold by weight, on baking paper, is still a classic, as are cheese and whipped cream. In fact, whipped cream has become a protagonist. In the 1950s, sold over the counter in little bags of waxed paper, it joined the ex-libris of the brand: the éclair with chocolate coating. The constant quality, the daily production, always fresh and limited to the existing stock, confirm a story of success.

Confeitaria Império, whose foundation dates back to 1943, is one of the oldest and most charismatic patisseries in the city of Porto. It still has the tea room where the ladies used to drink port wine in teapots and the tea was served in trays, a tradition that was resumed due to the great demand for this way of serving tea.
The patties, available here in countless varieties, are also considered one of the biggest attractions of this house.
Also available to the customer are daily dishes and homemade sweets.
In 2002, a second group establishment is inaugurated, adding to the confectionery service pizzeria valences and self-service restaurant with weight food, making it ideal for group dinners.
