A multi-award-winning Norwegian bean-to-bar creation. Experience the vibrant, citrus-forward profile of Trinitario cacao from Madagascar's Sambirano Valley.
Produced by the Norwegian artisan maker Fjåk, this bar represents a deep commitment to the bean-to-bar craft. Based in Norway, Fjåk focuses on small-batch production, meticulously transforming raw, high-quality ingredients into refined chocolate that celebrates the specific terroir of its source. By keeping their operation intimate, they ensure that the unique characteristics of the cacao are preserved from the farm to the final, finished bar.
The Madagascar 70% Åkesson's Estate is a study in precision and sensory intensity. The process begins with Trinitario cacao beans from the renowned Sambirano Valley, which undergo a rigorous 6-day fermentation in wooden boxes before being sun-dried. Once at the workshop, the beans are refined in a melanger to achieve a velvety texture. This 70% cacao bar is celebrated for its bold and distinct personality, frequently noted for vibrant flavor profiles of black cherry and bright, refreshing citrus.
Fjåk maintains a strict standard for quality and transparency, utilizing only organic cocoa beans, organic cane sugar, and organic cocoa butter. This dedication to clean, sustainable production has earned the bar both Organic and Vegan certifications. Their consistent pursuit of excellence is further evidenced by their impressive collection of accolades, including honors from the Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate Awards, solidifying their reputation as a leader in the specialty chocolate movement.
