Åkesson is a jewel cocoa from the Sambirano Valley, on the island of Madagascar.
If you thought you knew what chocolate was, with this bar you will rediscover it. The first thing that catches your attention is its reddish, almost hypnotic colour. It is simple and at the same time very special: slightly acidic, balanced, the red fruits appear slowly, melting in the mouth and leaving an enveloping aroma. When we are asked about a chocolate to introduce ourselves to the Bean to Bar, we usually talk about Åkesson because it always, always meets expectations.

Description:
It was around the 60s when chocolate was no longer made as it had always been made: from the cocoa bean. Chocolate makers began to buy the paste already made, saving costs and increasing productivity, but thus losing its personality, flavour and essence.
We realised that the revolution had to start with tradition and that to reinvent chocolate it was necessary to return to its origin: the cocoa bean.
We had to take a step back to see things from a different perspective. Recover the essence and move forward. Return to artisanal production in small batches. Return to taking care of the raw material and resuming direct contact with the producers. In short, return to chocolate that tastes like chocolate.
