Academy of Chocolate - Silver
2023
Fjåk Chocolate produces a premium 75% dark chocolate using cocoa beans sourced from Tanzania. This product is known for its rich and complex flavor profile, which includes notes of red fruit, earthy undertones, and a hint of nuttiness. Fjåk Chocolate is committed to ethical sourcing and ensures that the cocoa farmers are fairly compensated for their high-quality beans.
Fjåk Chocolate, based in Norway, is renowned as the country’s first bean-to-bar chocolate maker. Founded by Agurtxane Concellon and Siv Hereid in 2015, the company began by experimenting with craft chocolate in a modest kitchen before officially launching in 2017.
Fjåk infuses its chocolate with local Nordic ingredients, such as sour cherries, reindeer lichen, and lingonberries, showcasing Norway's natural bounty. This approach is central to Fjåk’s identity, offering a distinctive Norwegian spin on traditional chocolate.
