Darkness 100%

Svenska Kakao is a dedicated bean-to-bar maker based in Sweden. Operating as a true chokladfabrik, they maintain full control over the transformation of the cacao bean, ensuring that the integrity of the raw material remains at the forefront of their production process.

The Darkness 100% bar is an uncompromising showcase of the Kokoa Kamili harvest from Tanzania. To preserve the inherent character of these specific beans, the maker employs a light roast, allowing the naturally vibrant notes to shine without the interference of added sugar or excessive heat. Refining is carefully managed in a melanger, resulting in a texture that balances the raw intensity of the cacao with the sophisticated refinement expected from a small-batch artisan.

Commitment to quality begins at the source. The cacao utilized in this bar benefits from a rigorous post-harvest protocol, including fermentation in three-tier wooden boxes followed by careful sun-drying on raised beds. By maintaining a direct trade model, the maker fosters close relationships with their origins, ensuring that the labor behind every bar is as intentional as the final product.
