Åkesson’s Organic Madagascar 100% Criollo Cocoa is a premium chocolate crafted from the rare Criollo cocoa beans sourced from Madagascar. These beans are known for their distinctive flavor profile, which includes notes of red berries and citrus, setting it apart from other types of cocoa.
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.
