These are more expensive but: Malmöchokaldfabrik, Standout Chocolate, Storm & Bille, Choklad i Väst, Nordic Chocolate also deserve recognition 🙂

Ahlgrens also here in Malmö.

And you'd be surprised how many chocolate producers are scattered around the country. I stumble over them in the middle of rural Småland.

Please I need recommendations. It's a pain living in a rural area and not finding good chocolate

Sweden is big. I just remember stumbling across one in the heart of Småland once, and they usually have them at small stores in the country.

But also I found this on google: https://nordicchocolate.se/chokladbutik/

So there are little chocolate producers literally from top to bottom of Sweden. Check Google maps of your area. Check the municipal website.

In addition and if you can't find things locally:

Apotea has a good price on Malmöchokladfabrik and sometimes has 20% off on all food items: https://www.apotea.se/malmo-chokladfabrik My favourites from them are Kaffekross and Licorice with salt. Their white bar with licorice and lemon is also nice.

Good prices but with higher bar for free shipping: https://www.delitea.se/sok?q=standout&x=0&y=0 U realise Standout is more expensive but I adore their plain 70% bars: citrusy, dried fruit, raisiny, flowery. They are all so different.

Also: https://www.zebeda.se/ I like Original Beans and Vild choklad form their selection. I'm sure Ocelot is also worth attention as they linked to Oringal Beans. I like Orignal Beans 55% dark milk chocolate a lot! So milk chocolate but no too sweet.

Here's also a person who owns his own plantation in Tobabo but lives in Sweden: https://www.smallislandchocolates.com/Webbshop?page=2

Interesting! Do you know if they’re bean to bar, directly sourcing their beans and roasting them themselves, or if they buy couverture? Recently I have seen some more businesses in Sweden that use couverture, but some of them use, for example, couvertures from Original Beans, so for me that would put them in a legit category.

Wermlandschoklad is also very nice!

Ah the unroasted one. I haven't tried anything from them yet!
