Åkesson is a jewel cocoa from the Sambirano Valley, on the island of Madagascar.
If you thought you knew what chocolate is, with this tablet you will rediscover it. The first thing that catches your attention is its reddish, almost hypnotic color. 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 to Bean to Bar, we usually talk about Åkesson because it always, always, meets expectations.

Description:
It was around the 60s when chocolate stopped being made as it had always been done: starting from the cocoa bean. The chocolate makers began to buy the paste already made, saving costs and increasing productivity, but thus losing their personality, flavor and essence.
We realized that the revolution had to start with tradition and that to reinvent chocolate it was necessary to return to its origin: the cocoa bean.
You had to take a step back to see things from a different perspective. Recover the essence and move forward. Return to artisanal production and small batches. Take care of the raw materials again and resume direct contact with the producers. In short, return to chocolate that tastes like chocolate.
