Akesson's 75% Trinitario Cocoa & "Wild" Voatsiperifery pepper

Located in the Sambirano Valley, near Ambanja, in the North-West of Madagascar, Bertil Åkesson’s estate spreads over about 2000 hectares and is divided into smaller plantations, like the Ambolikapiky Plantation where this cocoa is grown. Since 1924, these farms have produced world-famous aromatic cocoa and today most of the top chefs and chocolate makers around the world use cocoa from this estate.

This chocolate has a very expressive cocoa aroma with subtle fruity-sweet tartness and pleasant flavour notes that evoke citrus and plum. We love how the addition of wild pepper brings added freshness and warmth to this classic Madagascan chocolate.
