Casa Trovão

In the store, you can see the store owner’s cork wedding dress on display (worn by herself on her wedding day) which has become a business card for the store, due to its uniqueness.
It is at Casa Trovão that you will find the best selection of cork items nationwide, in addition to traditional corks, you can see a true world of items made from this noble material!

The History
Casa Trovão comes from a family business with more than 60 years of history that has evolved over time, becoming today one of the main points of sale specializing in crafts of national origin. In 1996 Joana Trovão (daughter and granddaughter of traders) with the death of her father became responsible for the store, leaving halfway through her Advertising and Marketing course to dedicate herself fully to the crafts trade. She decided to integrate cork into the family business in 2006 and Innovation took place. All this with the aim of keeping the spirit of Portuguese culture alive.
