About Ambolikapiky Plantation 75% Criollo Cocoa
Åkesson's is a United Kingdom-based tree-to-bar maker that produces this chocolate using Criollo cacao from the Ambolikapiky Plantation in the Sambirano Valley of Madagascar. The cacao has been produced at this estate since 1920 and is harvested separately from the plantation's Trinitario harvest.
This 75% dark chocolate offers an expressive cocoa aroma with a flavor profile of subtle fruity-sweet tartness, citrus, red berries, and gentle caramel. The beans undergo a post-harvest protocol of box fermentation for several days, followed by sun drying on large wooden trays.
The ingredients consist of organic cocoa, organic cane sugar, pure organic cocoa butter, and GMO-free soya lecithin. The bar is Organic and Certified Non-GMO. It does not contain vanilla, vanillin, PGPR, or vegetable fats.
