Åkessons's Organic
75% Trinitario Cocoa & Wild Voatsiperifery Pepper
Chocolates
Åkesson’s 75% Trinitario Cocoa & Wild Voatsiperifery Pepper is a dark single-origin chocolate made from cacao grown on the Ambolikapiky plantation in the Sambirano Valley of Madagascar, combined with the rare wild voatsiperifery pepper that grows only in this region. The bar contains 75% Trinitario cacao, giving it an intense yet balanced flavor profile, with fruity and slightly tangy notes typical of Madagascan beans.
The addition of pepper (around 2%) adds complexity through refreshing floral, woody, and subtly fruity tones that complement the natural aroma of the cacao. On the palate, layers of red fruit, citrus, and light caramel unfold, enhanced by a gentle spiciness that enriches the finish without overpowering it.
The texture is smooth and melts evenly, allowing the flavors to gradually reveal themselves.
Producer
Åkesson’s Organic is a brand led by Bertil Åkesson, built on family-owned cacao plantations in Madagascar, Brazil, and Indonesia. The most renowned is the plantation in the Sambirano Valley in the Ambanja region of Madagascar, where cacao is cultivated alongside spices such as pepper.
This approach supports biodiversity and shapes the distinctive aromatic profile of the beans. The company was registered in London in 2013, which today serves as its administrative and commercial headquarters.
The chocolates are always single-origin, with each bar reflecting the terroir of its cacao - from the fruity and tangy notes of Madagascan varieties to the deeper, earthier tones of Brazilian cacao. The range includes dark and white chocolates, as well as varieties enhanced with spices such as black or pink pepper, which highlight the uniqueness and diversity of the terroir. Åkesson’s Organic is recognized for combining authentic flavor with clearly defined origins and a consistent respect for nature and local communities.
