Fazenda Sempre Firme 100% Forastero Cocoa & Cocoa Nibs

Åkesson's, a renowned name in the world of fine chocolate, brings a focused, artisan perspective to this single-estate bar. Produced from the Fazenda Sempre Firme estate located in the Bahia region of Brazil, this bar showcases the potential of the Forastero variety. Specifically, Åkesson's utilizes the Parasinho sub-variety, which has long been cultivated on this historic Brazilian land.

At a full 100% cacao content, this bar is an uncompromising study of terroir. The sensory experience begins with an intense, foundational profile marked by woody and earthy tones, grounded further by subtle notes of tobacco and toasted nuts. A distinct hint of Pitanga fruit cuts through the complexity, while the inclusion of 7% cocoa nibs provides a sophisticated, raw texture that mirrors the essence of autumn scents. To ensure the integrity of the harvest, the beans are fermented in traditional wooden boxes and sun-dried on classic barcaças.

Åkesson's commitment to quality is reflected in the clean ingredient list, which relies on organic cocoa, cocoa butter, and a touch of GMO-free soya lecithin for consistency. This bar is strictly vegan and certified EU Organic, honoring the natural character of the Bahia estate. Its consistent recognition at the Academy of Chocolate, including Silver and Bronze awards between 2016 and 2021, underscores its stature among enthusiasts seeking pure, high-percentage chocolate expression.
