Svenska Kakao is a dedicated bean-to-bar maker based in the scenic region of Österlen, Sweden. Operating their own chokladfabrik, they maintain full control over the craft process, ensuring that the integrity of the raw ingredients remains the focal point of every batch they produce.
The Uganda 72% bar is a masterclass in transparency and flavor. Crafted with a minimalist recipe of only cocoa beans and cane sugar, the chocolate allows the distinct characteristics of the Semuliki Forest beans to shine through. This focused approach has earned the bar significant recognition, including the prestigious International Chocolate Awards European Gold 2023, reflecting its exceptional balance and depth.
Quality and ethics are at the heart of their production. The cacao is sourced from a centralized fermentery in Bundibugyo, Uganda, which collaborates with over 1000 small-scale farmers to ensure consistent processing. By utilizing organic-certified beans, Svenska Kakao bridges the gap between the lush landscapes of the Semuliki Forest and the precise, Scandinavian standards of their Swedish factory.
