Maker Comments | Located in the Sambirano Valley, near Ambanja, in the North-West of Madagascar, Bertil Åkesson's estate spreads over about 2000 ha. Since 1920, world-famous aromatic cocoa and spices are produced there 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. |
