ABOUT SWEDISH COCOA

It all started in the summer of 2013. The vacation that never ended.
A short coffee break during a summer vacation in Österlen ended in the purchase of the old village school in Skåne-Tranås from 1893. Three months later, Ulrika & Fredrik Bergenkrans founded the chocolate company Svenska Kakao and became one of the pioneers of artisanal chocolate (bean to bar chocolate) in Sweden. Even today, it is unique to manufacture chocolate from cocoa beans in Sweden and only a handful of manufacturers exist in the Nordic countries.

Ulrika & Fredrik travel around the world to different cocoa producers to select the very best cocoa for their chocolate. This is what makes Svenska Kakao's chocolate so unique. The cocoa beans and producers are chosen with care to include aspects such as exceptional quality, sustainability, transparency, fair pricing and extraordinary taste. With a small team of skilled chocolatiers, everything is made from scratch in the small factory in Österlen.

Over the years, Svenska Kakao's chocolate has won several prestigious awards in international competitions and has been served at both star restaurants and tea rooms, as well as being represented in well-known department stores in cities such as Isetan in Tokyo, Lafayette in Paris and KaDeWe in Berlin. Today, you can find the chocolate in 15 countries and at retailers all over Sweden.
