Cocoa of Excellence to recognize 50 top cocoa samples
The International Cocoa Awards will be given out at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris, providing a platform that recognizes quality cocoas and the farmers that grow them.
The International Cocoa Awards – Cocoa of Excellence Ceremony will be held October 28 at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris. Hosted every two years by Bioversity International and Event International, the Cocoa of Excellence Programme will recognize various types of cocoa for their quality.
And the competition is stiff. The cocoa is selected from 146 samples received from 25 countries. And 50 have been selected to be processed into chocolate, with 17 eventually earning an International Cocoa Award.
