On the fertile soils of the Ambanja district, part of the Sambirano Valley in Madagascar, we find the single plantation Bejofo Estate owned by Bertil Åkesson.
Before Bertil bought it back in 1998, it was owned by the government, like every plantation in Madagascar at that time. From that moment onwards, he has managed to develop high quality cocoa in a sustainable way and with 3,000 farmers who grow, ferment and dry with good farming practices and consistent protocols.
Over the years Bertil has played an important role in elevating the standards of high quality cocoa. This is visible in the consistency throughout the years and the broad audience that appreciates it for a long time.
The flavour profile is always precise as the plantation preserves the old varieties and strict protocols secure the highest quality possible.
Remy, Andrea and their daughter were living in Buenos Aires when Covid happened and their plan to go back to live in London got postponed as Argentina's borders closed the exact day of their flight. After a long lockdown and phone calls back and forth from Buenos Aires to Liverpool with their friend Tian, the family relocated. Remy started working at his friends’ specialty coffee shop and wine room Ropes & Twines when the idea of making his own chocolate for his bonbons began. Within a year of trial and development TABLE was launched in November 2021.
Remy is a Dutch graphic designer who worked his way up from pot washer to head pastry chef. His experience within the 5 star hotels and Michelin-star environments in different countries has allowed him to see many aspects of gastronomy through an array of languages and cultures. Andrea is an Argentinian translator and copy-editor with a background in marketing and advertising. After working in magazines, the media and the digital sectors, a trip to Indonesia led her to her future husband, much loved daughter and a whole new lifestyle moving abroad.
