The goodness of the Archipelago
COMMITMENT TO GIVING YOU
At Krakakoa, we believe that some of the best quality products in the world can be produced right here in Indonesia. We believe that farmers need to make a good living from the hard work that they do. We believe that the environment needs to be protected while we pursue economic development. And we believe manufacturing and processing is an important contributor to economic growth. Our mission is to put our beliefs into action and change the way food production systems impact people and the planet, starting with cocoa.
Founded in 2013 as Kakoa, our brand evolved in October 2016 when it became Krakakoa. Inspired by the volcanic island that once sat on the waters of the Sunda Straits, we wanted to make it clear to the world that our chocolate is proudly Indonesian.
Our cacao beans are organically-grown and sourced from small farms that practice sustainable farming methods, and our partner farmers are paid more than the Fairtrade Minimum price for their harvest. Indulge in the unique flavours and seductive aromas of Indonesia with our organically grown, farmer-to-bar chocolate products, made with passion and purpose.
AN AWARD-WINNING COMPANY
SEE WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED
Upon completion of the judging session at the 2017 Academy of Chocolate (AOC) Awards in the United Kingdom, chocolate connoisseurs in Indonesia have now another reason to be proud of the cocoa grown on the fertile soils of this archipelago: a Lampung-based chocolate maker has garnered multiple awards in arguably the world’s most prestigious chocolate awards competition.
Krakakoa has won a total of six medals, making them the first Indonesian chocolate maker to win any award at this reputable annual competition. For packaging category, Krakakoa Limited Edition Single Origin Gift set has achieved the Silver Award. For Tree to Bar category, Krakakoa 75% Single Origin Saludengen and Krakakoa 70% Single Origin Sedayu have successfully claimed the Silver and Bronze Award respectively. Both Krakakoa Dark Milk Chocolate Ginger and Krakakoa Dark Milk Chocolate Creamy Coffee bagged Bronze Award in Flavoured Milk Chocolate Bar category. For Flavoured Dark Chocolate Bar, Krakakoa Dark Chocolate Sea Salt & Pepper gained the Bronze Award.
The Academy of Chocolate is an independent panel of Britain’s leading chocolate professionals founded in 2005. Their mission is to improve the standard and knowledge of chocolate by promoting awareness of the difference between fine chocolate and mass-produced chocolate confectionery. The group is a proponent of recognizing companies that produce chocolate made from the finest cocoa beans and believes in transparent and fair sourcing of cocoa beans in an industry plagued by child labor, price fixing, and low-quality yields. The Academy has convened annually since 2008 to award gold, silver, and bronze medals to chocolate producers in multiple categories, including chocolate Bars, Spreads, Drinking Chocolate, Packaging, and more.
