Åkesson's Bali 75% Trinitario Cacao is a premium chocolate bar crafted by Åkesson's Organic. It is made from Trinitario cacao beans, which are known for their distinct flavor profile, combining nuanced fruity notes with a rich chocolatey base. This particular bar features cacao sourced from the Indonesian island of Bali, an origin that contributes unique flavor characteristics due to the local growing conditions and terroir.
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.
