Brazil 75% Forastero

The Brazil 75% Forastero is a defining creation by Åkesson's, a producer celebrated for their meticulous approach to single-estate chocolate. This bar captures the raw essence of the Fazenda Sempre Firme estate located in Bahia, Brazil. By working closely with specific estates, the maker ensures that the distinct character of the Brazilian landscape is translated directly into the final chocolate.

This bar is a masterclass in handling the Forastero bean variety. The cacao undergoes a traditional protocol, being fermented in wooden boxes and dried in the sun to lock in its complex personality. On the palate, it offers an intense and grounded experience, characterized by rustic notes of autumn leaves, tobacco, wood, and a deep earthiness that lingers.

Quality and transparency sit at the heart of this bar. The composition is straightforward, utilizing organic cocoa beans, organic cane sugar, and organic cocoa butter, finished with non-GMO sunflower lecithin for a consistent texture. As a certified organic product, it reflects a dedication to clean, intentional sourcing that prioritizes the health of the soil as much as the intensity of the finished cacao.
