Maker :

Bertil Akesson a Franco-Swedish origin, is primarily a cocoa farmer. Having inherited his father's plantation in Madagascar, he decided to make every effort to produce the best cocoa in the region. On the strength of his success, he then sets out to conquer other continents where he creates other cocoa plantations: in Brazil, then in Bali. His superb chocolate bars are enriched with other ingredients that also grow in cocoa plantations: pepper, coffee or coconut.

Plantation :

In April 2009, Bertil Akesson and his Brazilian partner Dr Angelo Calmon de Sa, purchased the historic Fazenda Sempre Firme in Bahia, Brazil. This 120ha cocoa plantation is right in the middle of the Mata Atlantica, the wild forest with the highest biodiversity on earth. They were able to recreate a social structure and their best reward is to hear the community referring to the Fazenda as a ‘Paraiso’ (paradise). They’re growing there the traditional and astonishing Forestero cocoa variety called ‘parasinho’ that made the glory of Bahia at the beginning of the 20th century.
