Product Information

Inspired by the Adinkra symbol for “heart,” Guittard’s Akoma chips are crafted from a carefully selected blend of Fair Trade, organic cocoa beans sourced from West Africa. Made in small batches using traditional couverture techniques, these chips deliver a rich, complex flavour with balanced bitterness and smooth notes of cocoa. Free from the 14 major allergens and crafted without artificial ingredients, they offer exceptional quality for bakers seeking a premium, ethical chocolate choice. Perfect for elevating everything from cookies to cakes, Akoma chips combine organic integrity with Guittard’s renowned craftsmanship.

Founded in San Francisco over 150 years ago, Guittard is a family-owned chocolate company loved by pastry chefs and chocolatiers worldwide. Unlike the overly sweet and occassionally sour 'American style' chocolate UK customers may have experienced, Guittard's chocolate is European in style, using a higher cocoa content, and made in small batches in a centuries old French artisan tradition. This focus on higher cocoa content, pure cocoa butter, and carefully balanced sweetness, results in a chip that is rich and smooth, allowing the chocolate to truly shine.

Guittard works directly with growers to source the finest cocoa beans, chosen for their character and ethical origins. Every batch is meticulously blended and conched to develop complex notes, resulting in chocolate that's perfectly suited to both everyday indulgence and professional creations.
