Åkesson's Organic, founded by Bertil Åkesson, is well-regarded in the craft chocolate community for its bean-to-bar products sourced from its own plantations. Originating from a family with a deep connection to plantation management, Bertil Åkesson has developed plantations in Madagascar and Brazil, where he cultivates renowned cacao and spices.
These plantations provide high-quality ingredients not just for Åkesson's own chocolate bars but also for other top chocolatiers and chefs worldwide?. Åkesson's is notable for being a pioneer in the bean-to-bar movement, focusing on producing distinct chocolate bars that often incorporate unique flavors such as various types of pepper from its own estates.
