Friis-Holm is a Danish bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturer founded by Mikkel Friis-Holm Ottosen and operating out of Lejre, Denmark.

History

Friis-Holm has a background as a chef. In 2000, he began importing Scharffen Berger chocolate to the Danish market. The company produced its first chocolate in 2007 after he had participated in a cocoa project in Nicaragua.[1] The company was initially a gypsy manufacturer whose chocolate was produced at Bonnat's factory in France. In 2015, Friis-Mikkelsen established his own production facility in Lejre, Denmark.[2]

Awards

Friis-Holm received an Annual Award from the Danish Chocolate Society in 2012.[1] It has also won a number of awards at the International Chocolate Awards in London. At the 2014 International Chocolate Awards, Friis-Holm won a gold medal at the world finals in the Bars – Milk plain/origin bars category for their Dark Milk 65% chocolate, as well as two bronze medals in the Bars – Dark plain/origin bars category for their Johe and Nicaliso 70% chocolates.[3]
