✨ Meet our Winners ✨ @humminbirdchocolateofficial Drew and Erica Gilmour's journey into chocolate-making is as sweet as their creations. With backgrounds spanning countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, they cultivated a deep appreciation for food artisans and growers. Their transition to chocolate-making was a natural evolution, driven by a desire to connect with farmers and craft something they truly love. What began as a private hobby soon blossomed into a passion shared by an incredibly talented team. Together, they obsess over every detail, from sourcing the finest beans to unlocking incredible flavors. 🥈 SILVER winners - World Final 2023 Honey Lavender (88.2) Orange honey spice caramel (87.9) Hispaniola 85% (87.0) Congratulations 🎉 #chocawards #chocawards2023 #chocawardswinners #chocawardsworldfinal #chocawardscanada #chocawardsamericas #craftchocolatier #beantobarchocolate #traceablecacao #traceablechocolate #finechocolate #awardwinningchocolate #canadianchocolate #hummingbirdchocolate
✨ Meet our Winners ✨ Time for some colourful and flavourful delights from Norway's Jentene pa Tunet.

🤩 New Competition Alert! 🇬🇧 We are organizing the first British Bean-to-Bar and Craft Chocolatier Competition in 2024! Celebrating the best in locally produced British chocolates, the British competition is the UK’s only chocolate awards dedicated purely to chocolate products made in the UK by British chocolate companies. Winners of this competition will be eligible to enter our World Final Competition held in October-November 2024. 🍬 If you have participated at our previous British competitions before as a craft chocolatier with filled products from the UK, this change doesn't affect you, just enter as usual. 🍫 However, if you are a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in the UK wishing to enter your bars, you will have the chance to do so in this new competition, instead of entering our European, Middle Eastern and African Bean-to-Bar Competition. With this new setup, we would like to support British makers who have had considerable challenges shipping their products to our European competition. In addition, in the UK, we have a strong network of highly skilled judges and will organize in-person judging led by our Grand Juror Alex Rast. Exact dates and location will be announced soon! For more details, check out our website: enter.chocolateawards.com If you have any queries, please get in touch with us by email. #chocawards #chocawards2024 #chocawardsbritish #britishbeantobar #britishchocolatier #craftchocolatier #craftchocolate #beantobarchocolate #traceablechocolate #traceablecacao #madeinuk #britishchocolate #finechocolate #internationalchocolateawards #chocolatejudging #grandjury #chocolatecompetition #chocawardswinners #comingsoon

“Crème de Pétrole”. This genius little square was the 12th offering in @sweet_carambole Advent Calendar. It was just awarded Silver from the @acadofchocolate yesterday👏🥈 Congratulations on harmonizing these flavors so beautifully Rita! The @krakchocolade Tanzania base and hibiscus shell hold so many layers of flavors inside. The burst of blackcurrant acidity grounded in the roasty sesame with a light background of black garlic that just lingers in a very subtle way until the end. A gold for me!😋 #craftchocolate #sweetcarambole #beantobonbon #craftchocolatier #smallbatchchocolate #blackcurrantbonbon #blackgarlic

It’s a wrap! Grand jury done! It was a pleasure and honour to provide constructive feedbacks and then virtually huddle with @MartinChristy70 , Awards Director & Chair of Grand Jury, and fellow Grand Jurors to deliberate over the Canadian Craft Chocolatier Competition @chocawards ! We marvelled at how the bar has risen with some of the incredible technical skills, and creativity. This competition celebrates the craft of Canadian chocolatiers and chocolate companies who create filled chocolates, truffles, ganaches, pralines, caramels, fondants, enrobed fruits and nuts plus spreads made from chocolate couverture or from their own bean-to-bar chocolate. The competition also includes flavoured chocolate bars made from chocolate couverture. Winners of the Canadian competition will pass through to the World Final, which will be held in October-November 2023 in Florence, Italy. Good luck! Make Canada proud! . . #ChocAwardsCanadian #craftChocolatier #InternationalChocolateAwards #GrandJury #SChocolateMagic

Whoa! @ennachocolate is listed three times, so I think that means THREE of the four bars we sent are grand jury finalists! This is a BIG deal. I’ve only submitted bars for awards a couple of times… and not in a few years. Entering can be expensive and I also just frankly haven’t made time for it in a few years! I am very proud of our chocolate though, and it’s extra sweet to be noticed now in this ever-expanding field. Cheers to all my fellow chocolate makers, I’m excited to see which bars we should all look forward to tasting this winter!

🐱 Daniela has started just like many others in the early 2000s, by making pralines for her family and friends. But her hobby turned into a business just over 10 years ago and her brand @pralinenmanufaktur_naschkatze was born. Her nut-based pralines were awarded at our 2023 D.A.CH. Craft Chocolatier Competition, even reaching the exact same score, which is a rare occasion. 🥈 SILVER winners Karamell auf Haselnussknuspernougat (Caramel and crunchy hazelnut praline) (86.3) Dulcey Espresso (86.3) ✨ Congratulations! #chocawards #chocawards2023 #chocawardsdach #chocawardswinners #awardwinningchocolate #finechocolate #craftchocolatier #germanchocolatier
We love to see the joy on the faces of our customers as they open up a beautiful box of our craft chocolates. Making high-end confections is a process that requires skill, patience and attention to detail, and at Wallace Craft Chocolate we use our own stone-ground couverture from our single-origin Dominican Republic beans. This is unique, as many chocolateirs don't make their own couverture, they source it from larger chocolate makers. But we need to know that the chocolate is the absolute best and is traded fairly - without compromise. Tell us what your favourite Wallace Craft Chocolate confection is in the comments below, we'd love to know (or what you would love for us to start making)! ⤵️ * * * #craftchocolate #craftchocolatier #uniquechocolate #beantobonbon #premiumchocolate #chocolatelovers #chocolateconnoisseur #chocolateconfections #fineflavourchocolate #organicchocolate #singleorigin #uncommoncacao #localchocolatemaker #victoriabc #yyjfoodscene #yyjtreats #discovervictoriabc #bcmadechocolate #buybc #canadianchocolatemaker

🌟 Since she was a child, Monia Achille has always loved experimenting in the kitchen, but she discovered her true calling only after graduating in accounting: and it wasn't a life sitting in the office doing calculations but rather to become a pastry chef. A long, demanding and fascinating journey that has allowed her to travel, assist and learn from the best masters by attending the Italian Master Chocolatiers Academy. Today she is a master pastry chef and chocolatier at the renowned Isanti Corchiano pastry shop in the Viterbo area, Italy, which they opened together with her husband Emanuele Isanti in 2002. Monia's delicate chocolate creations were awarded at our 2023 Italian-Mediterranean Craft Chocolatier Competition. 🥈 SILVER winners Flavoured ganache with combination coating/filling: 24K (90.3) +Special: local ingredients Flavoured dark chocolate ganache: Karkadè (88.0) Spreads with milk chocolate: Me (87.2) +Special: local ingredients Congratulations!
