ÅKESSON'S is a small and exclusive Planter's Line of Chocolate & Fine Exotic Foods. They have their own plantations in Madagascar and in Brazil. There, they grow mainly cocoa but also coffee, peppercorns, nuts and spices.

Akesson's cocoa plantations supply beans all over Europe, America and Japan to most of the top end chocolate makers. Working closely with these passionate chocolatiers, Bertil Akesson wanted to give its own interpretation of chocolate and as a planter wanted to bring out the true taste of cocoa behind chocolate.

That is how ÅKESSON'S was launched in 2009. ÅKESSON'S Fine Chocolate & Exotic Foods are now available in the best Fine Food Stores across 16 countries.

In the UK, the following stores are carrying Akesson's:

London (Paul.A.Young, 143 Wardour Street, Soho & 33 Camden Passage, Islington & 20 The Royal Exchange, Threadneedle St.), Ludlow (The Chocolate Gourmet, 16 Castle St.), Pittenweem (The Cocoa Tree Shop, 9 High Street), Shrewsbury (The Chocolate Gourmet, 69a Wyle Cop), Worcester (The Chocolate Gourmet, 17 Friars St.)
