Akesson's Chocolate Maker (UK)

Åkesson’s Organic is a brand led by Bertil Åkesson, built on family-owned cacao plantations in Madagascar and Brazil. 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, milk 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 flavour with clearly defined origins and a consistent respect for nature and local communities.
