Åkesson's Organic's Bali Sukrama Farms 44% is a distinctive chocolate that spotlights the unique flavors of Balinese cocoa. Sourced from the Sukrama family farms in Bali, this bar stands out due to its creamy texture and balanced sweetness. The use of 44% cocoa content allows for a mild yet rich chocolate experience, suitable for those who appreciate a more nuanced and less intense chocolate flavor.
Balinese Fleur du Sel by Åkesson's Organic is crafted by incorporating hand-harvested sea salt from the coast of Bali. The addition of this locally-sourced fleur de sel enhances the chocolate's natural flavors and adds a delicate crunch. This combination not only provides a subtle salty contrast but also accentuates the inherent sweetness and complexity of the cocoa.
