After the success of the 1st and 2nd International Contest of "Chocolates processed at origin" organized in June 2021 and 2022.​

​

The 3rd Edition of "Chocolates processed at origins" Contest is organized as soon as February 2023 by the AVPA in order to continue to recognize that cocoa-producing countries know how to develop chocolates of quality, equal and sometimes better than those made by major brands in consumer countries.

​

This international contest reserved for chocolatiers or their groups (cooperatives, Denominations of Origin) for which AVPA proposes a classification that allows the expression of all the traditional tastes encountered among chocolatiers in cocoa-producing countries.

​

Two main categories are defined: plain dark chocolate (plain dark chocolate with no vanilla/vanillin) , and other chocolates (dark chocolates with additives: vanilla, milk chocolate, chocolate with various ingredients and chocolate candies) with both jury chaired by Pascale Adeline for technical jury and Emmanuelle de Beauregard for gastronomic jury.

​

In its two editions, nearly 200 exceptional chocolates spread over some 20 countries on 4 continents were tasted.
