13 Amazing Candy Companies from the Summer Fancy Food Show!
From Chocolat Moderne to The Tea Room Chocolate Co. and the Seattle Chocolate Co., plus many others, chocolatiers showed off their most creative treats.
Packaging with a feminine mystique, beverage industry-inspired flavors, “contemporized” brand campaigns and “noncommittal” snacking options — those are just some of the new gourmet chocolate and confectionery trends spotted at this year’s 59th Summer Fancy Food Show, North America’s largest specialty food and beverage exposition.
Hosted by the Specialty Food Association (SFA), the show was held June 30 to July 2 in New York’s City’s recently upgraded Javits Convention Center. With an estimated 24,000 attendees exploring the 2,500 domestic and international exhibitors displaying more than 180,000 specialty food products, the show broke attendance and exhibit space records.
