The Ambolikapiky Plantation 75% Criollo Cocoa is produced by Åkesson's, a UK based maker with a reputation for excellence in the tree to bar world. Operating with a focus on the Sambirano Valley in Madagascar, the maker oversees the process from the initial harvest to the final bar.
This 75% cacao bar is crafted to highlight the natural character of the Criollo bean. Upon tasting, you will find an expressive cocoa aroma complemented by a bright, fruity tartness. The flavor journey moves through notes of citrus and red berries, eventually rounding out with a gentle hint of caramel. The texture is designed to be accessible and satisfying for those who appreciate a classic, refined chocolate experience.
The foundation of this bar lies in careful post harvest management. The beans are fermented in traditional wooden boxes and sun dried on wooden trays to ensure quality.

The inclusion of GMO free soya lecithin helps ensure a consistent melt, while the product maintains Organic and Non GMO certifications.
