Fjåk Chocolate 85% dark chocolate is made using fine cacao sourced from Thailand. The high cacao content provides an intense, rich chocolate flavor profile with minimal added sugar, catering to dark chocolate connoisseurs who prefer a bold taste. The company is known for its commitment to sustainability and often uses organic ingredients and environmentally friendly practices.
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.
