About Trinitario Cocoa & Pink Pepper 75%
Operating out of the Sambirano Valley in Madagascar, the maker has gained global recognition for its commitment to estate-grown cocoa. Their approach is rooted in the deep understanding of the Ambolikapiky Plantation, where they manage the entire lifecycle of the bean to ensure the unique character of their Trinitario cacao is preserved from the tree to the finished bar.
This 75% bar serves as a masterclass in flavor equilibrium. The cacao undergoes a meticulous 144-hour fermentation process in wooden crates before being sun-dried, which unlocks a sophisticated profile defined by bright citrus and ripe berry notes with a lingering floral elegance.
Quality and transparency sit at the core of the Åkesson philosophy. By maintaining control over the plantation and processing, they uphold rigorous organic standards. The composition remains focused and clean, combining premium cocoa solids, cane sugar, and a touch of GMO-free soya lecithin to ensure a consistent, velvety texture that allows the natural terroir of the Madagascar region to shine through with every snap of the 60-gram bar.
