Fazenda Sempre Firme 55%, Åkesson's

Fazenda Sempre Firme

The Fazenda Sempre Firme bar is a masterful expression of terroir, crafted by the renowned chocolatier Åkesson's. This bar draws its character from the Fazenda Sempre Firme estate located in Brazil. As a dedicated bean-to-bar maker, Åkesson's focuses on the integrity of the cocoa, showcasing the potential of Brazilian Forastero beans when handled with precision and respect for their place of origin.

This 55% dark milk chocolate offers a sophisticated sensory journey. The texture is defined by the inclusion of milk powder and natural cacao butter, creating a creamy backdrop that allows the complex Forastero profile to shine. Expect a nuanced dance of woody and tobacco notes balanced by sweet cream and the distinct, bright hint of pitanga fruit. These flavors are anchored by a foundation of rich chocolate and warm, grounded autumn aromas that linger on the palate.

Quality begins at the source, where the beans undergo a meticulous post-harvest protocol. The cacao is fermented for seven days in wooden boxes before being sun-dried on traditional wooden platforms known as barcaças. This careful attention to processing, combined with an organic certification, ensures that the specific characteristics of the Brazilian environment are preserved from the farm to the final 60-gram bar.
