The Fazenda Sempre Firme 75% Forastero Cocoa & Coffee Nibs bar is a definitive example of tree-to-bar excellence, crafted by the renowned UK-based maker Åkesson's. By maintaining direct control over the fermentation and drying protocols at their specific plantation in Brazil, Åkesson's ensures that the unique character of the Forastero bean is fully preserved. The cacao is carefully fermented in traditional wooden boxes and sun-dried on classic wooden platforms, locally known as barcaças, which allows for a meticulous development of the bean's inherent profile.

This bar offers a sophisticated sensory journey where the intensity of 75% cacao meets the textural crunch of coffee nibs. The flavor profile is broad and evolving, transitioning from deep notes of earth, tobacco, and wood to brighter, sweeter tones of pitanga fruit, honey, malt, maple syrup, and date. The addition of the coffee nibs introduces a distinct bittersweet finish that is balanced by a subtle, underlying creaminess, making each bite both bold and harmonious.

Recognized globally for its craftsmanship, this bar has earned significant accolades, including prestigious honors from the International Chocolate Awards, Great Taste, and the Academy of Chocolate between 2015 and 2017. As an organic-certified product, it reflects a deep commitment to sustainable agricultural practices and the preservation of heirloom cocoa quality. It stands as a testament to the maker's dedication to showcasing the authentic terroir of their Brazilian estate.
