Four Colombian chocolate brands to showcase products at NorthWest Chocolate Festival
The country's cacao production spans across more than 30 departments of the country.
The NorthWest Chocolate Festival, recognized as the premier chocolate event in North America and one of the best in the world for the past 15 consecutive years, will take place during the second weekend of October. This year, Colombia will present four outstanding companies: Somos Cacao, Cacao y más Cacao, Biocacao Morumbi, and Madrevieja Chocolate.
“Quality, innovation, and variety are the main characteristics of the confectionery sector in our country. As a matter of fact, in Colombia, thanks to our immense biodiversity, cocoa is sown from 0 to 1,200 meters above sea level, which favors the variety of sensory profiles and even the fats percentage," explained Carmen Caballero, president of ProColombia, the promotion agency of the country part of the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Tourism.
