Akesson’s Madacasgar 75% Trinitario Cocoa & Black Pepper Craft Chocolate Bar

77 NOK

From the lush Sambirano Valley in North-West Madagascar, on Bertil Åkesson’s expansive 2000 ha estate, comes a chocolate bar that’s a testament to both tradition and innovation. The Ambolikapiky plantation, part of this estate since 1920, is not just known for its aromatic cocoa but also for its spices. Uniquely, pepper vines are cultivated alongside the cocoa trees, under the protective shade, blending agriculture with a touch of ingenuity.

This chocolate bar masterfully combines the world-renowned cocoa with the estate’s distinct black pepper, creating an exquisite spicy chocolate experience. The chocolate’s fruity sweetness and notes of red berries meet the warm, pine kernel-like nuances and fresh green fruit hints of Madagascar black pepper. This combination creates a sophisticated flavor profile that’s both bold and delicate, embodying the essence of Madagascar’s rich agricultural heritage.
