Miss Witt - Judges The Chocolate Academy Awards 2021

This year, 2021 I was proud to be invited to be on the Judging panel for The Academy of Chocolate Awards. We deliberated over the best chocolate in the world in classes of;

Bean to Bar, Tree to Bar, Flavoured, Milk and White Bars, Filled chocolates, Spreads and Packaging.

Products are marked on appearance, depth of aroma and flavour, length and complexity to determine the gold, silver, and bronze winners in each category.

It was great to see that the trends for this year included globally inspired flavours, maybe because we are all so keen to travel again and get out of our comfort zones after a challenging time during multiple lock-downs and a global pandemic. It seems Covid can’t stop our imaginations, however, and the levels of creativity were reassuringly high!

I'd like to pass on my congratulations to both of my main suppliers of the finest chocolate, Cárdenas Chocolate who won 3 Bronze awards and Chocolate Madagascar who won 2 Bronze awards and one Silver. You can read more about my suppliers here.
