Chocolade Proeverijen & Pairings

Wij hebben slecht nieuws én goed nieuws!

Vanwege de onvoorspelbaarheid van de ontwikkeling van COVID-19 hebben we moeten besluiten om in 2021 géén Chocoa Festival te organiseren.

Het goede nieuws is dat we één van de onderdelen van Chocoa online gaan brengen: de proeverijen. Schrijf je in en je ontvangt een proefpakket thuis, dat we samen gaan proeven tijdens de online bijeenkomst. Het worden mooie combinaties met wijn, bier en andere dranken of mooie proeverijen samen met de chocolademaker.

De eerste proeverij gaan we samen doen met Le Vineur, bekend standhouder op het festival. Op 11 en 12 december staan er drie mooie combinaties met wijn en chocolade op de proeftafel, waaronder onze eigen Madagaskar chocolade, die Chocoa heeft laten maken van cacao die we op onze cacaoveiling hebben gekocht. Uniek want niet in de winkel verkrijgbaar.

Om logistieke redenen is deze proeverij alleen toegankelijk voor chocoladefans in Europa: we moeten je het pakket wel op tijd toe kunnen sturen. Om dezelfde reden kunnen we niet meer dan 30 deelnemers per keer mee laten doen. Schrijf je dus snel in.

Good cocoa, better chocolate @home

It has been 3 months since Chocoa took place in Amsterdam – and what a success it was! The world looks so different now.Today we would like to shed an extra light on the craft chocolate makers who travelled to Chocoa. Their situation has now changed dramatically because of the corona crisis. A research conducted by the Fine Cacao and Chocolate Institute (FCCI) shows that 80% of the small craft businesses are financially struggling, with many of them having to close their doors for good. But if you love chocolate there is something you can do!

Supporting the chocolate makers, we have made a list of online shops where you can still find their chocolate bars in the Netherlands.
