Sukrama Farms Bali 75%

The Sukrama Farms Bali 75% is a standout expression of Indonesian terroir crafted by the UK-based maker Åkesson's. This bar is a testament to the potential of Balinese cacao, specifically highlighting the high-quality Trinitario variety grown on Sukrama Farms. The beans are processed with meticulous care at a Central Processing Unit managed by Big Tree Farms, where they undergo controlled box fermentation and solar drying to ensure flavor consistency before reaching the hands of the maker.

On the palate, this chocolate is a complex journey through the sensory landscape of Bali. The profile is marked by an initial burst of bright, fruity notes like mango and banana, which transition seamlessly into a sophisticated array of spices, including clove and nutmeg. As the chocolate melts, it settles into a deep, grounding base of roast, wood, and a subtle whisper of smoke.

Åkesson's commitment to quality is reflected in both their sourcing and their minimalist ingredient list. This bar is certified organic and composed of cocoa, cane sugar, and pure cocoa butter, with the addition of GMO-free soya lecithin to ensure a consistent, velvety texture. By focusing on the unique character of the Sukrama Farms harvest, the maker invites chocolate enthusiasts to explore the rich, distinct profile that sets Indonesian cacao apart on the world stage.
