Akesson's Madagascar 100% Criollo, Organic

Located in the Sambirano Valley, near Ambanja, in the North-West of Madagascar, Bertil Åkesson’s estate spreads over about 2000 ha.

Since 1920, this farm produces world-famous aromatic cocoa and today most of the top chefs and chocolate makers around the world use cocoa from this estate.

Besides 300 tons of Trinitario cocoa produced every year, a very limited quantity of Criollo beans – 2 tons per year – is harvested separately to make this chocolate. It has a very expressive cocoa aroma with subtle fruity-sweet tartness and pleasant flavour notes that evoke citrus and red berries.
