5 Curiosities About Eurochocolate

 

Hi, I'm Valerio and this is my first article for LET’S BLOG!, so I want to talk about something I really like and, well, almost everyone likes. What better than chocolate to have smooth start?

1. Eurochocolate is one of the most significant chocolate fairs globally, held in Italy.The fair was established in 1994 and is now in its 29th edition.

2. Each year, it attracts around one million visitors, not all of them Italian. Originally, the fair was held in Perugia, known as the city of chocolate, but due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been relocated to Bastia Umbra, a town near Perugia.





3. The fair is attended by major companies like Lindt and Baci Perugina, as well as smaller businesses from around the world. These smaller companies use fine cocoa, mainly harvested in South America by local communities.





4. A significant part of the fair is dedicated to an exhibition that explains the cocoa harvesting process and showcases the most essential and well-known cocoa varieties used in chocolate production.

Fun fact: There are more than 12,000 types of cocoa, but only 7,000 are used to make chocolate.

5. During the event, there are cooking shows and tastings attended by famous culinary personalities, including winners of MasterChef editions and pastry chefs like Ernst Knam and Emanuele Di Biase, known for his vegan desserts.

Eurocholate is an unforgettable experience for all chocolate lovers and beyond, so why not attend the world's largest chocolate fair and not taste chocolate in all its nuances?
