Academy of Chocolate - Silver
2021
The product Waffles, Brown Cheese & Strawberry by Fjåk Chocolate is a unique chocolate bar that blends traditional Norwegian flavors. It combines the comforting taste of waffles with the caramel-like flavor of Norwegian brown cheese (brunost) and the sweet and tart notes of strawberry.
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.
