Svenska Kakao
Svenska Kakao was founded by Ulrika & Fredrik Bergenkrans in the summer of 2013. A short coffee break during a summer holiday in Österlen ended in the purchase of Skåne-Tranå’s old village school, a building which was built in 1893. Within months, the couple transformed the old school building into a chocolate factory, and became one of the pioneers of Nordic craft chocolate. Even today, crafting chocolate from cacao beans is a unique way to make chocolate and only a handful of manufacturers exist in the Nordics.
Ulrika & Fredrik travel around to various cacao producers in the world to choose the very best produce for their chocolate. This makes Svenska Kakao’s chocolate unique. The cacao beans as well as the producers are carefully selected 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 Österlen factory, in the Swedish countryside.
Over the years, Svenska Kakao’s chocolate has won several awards in international competitions and has been served in Michelin starred restaurants, appreciated by renowned pastry chefs as well as represented in concept stores in cities like Tokyo, Paris and Berlin. Svenska Kakao is currently available in 15 countries.
