Operating with a focus on exceptional single-estate cacao, the producer is renowned for bringing the unique character of the Sambirano Valley in Madagascar to a global audience. By managing the process from the source, they ensure that the genetic integrity of their Trinitario cacao is preserved through every step of production.

This 75% dark chocolate is a masterclass in balance and acidity. The cacao beans undergo a meticulous 144-hour fermentation in wooden boxes, followed by traditional sun-drying, which preserves the inherent brightness of the crop. On the palate, one finds a complex symphony of tart red berries, citrus, and crisp green fruits, grounded by an earthy note of pine kernel. The addition of organic black pepper provides a sharp, aromatic intensity that complements the bar's natural vibrancy, creating an experience that is both lively and deeply resonant.

Quality and transparency define the Åkesson's approach. This bar is crafted using organic cane sugar and pure organic cocoa butter, reflecting a commitment to high-standard inputs. The inclusion of organic black pepper is carefully calibrated to ensure the spice enhances rather than masks the nuanced flavor profile of the Madagascan terroir, maintaining the integrity of their well-regarded, organic-certified cacao.
