World Chocolate Day – 10th Anniversary.
World Chocolate Day, celebrated throughout the World on the
7th July, by indulging a passion for chocolate.
Not to be confused with the The U.S. National
Confectioners Association who list 13 September* as ‘International Chocolate
Day’.
But who needs a reason to celebrate & consume
chocolate?
From ‘healthy’ dark chocolate bars with higher cocoa
percentages to the sweetest white and milk chocolate bars, there really is a
chocolate for everyone.
The last few years have seen a growth in smaller,
bean-to-bar chocolate makers, introducing chocolates that are organic / soya
free / dairy free / vegan etc, to cater to the widest possible audience – even
those with strict dietary requirements, so no-one should feel left out this
World Chocolate Day.
Those not content with merely eating chocolate, but
cooking with it, are also faced with a myriad of different chocolate
couvertures to choose from. Flavoured chips (callets), single origin chocolate
and high cocoa content couvertures are all readily available to buy online from
Chocolate Trading Co.
World Chocolate Day is a great opportunity to
explore different chocolate, cocoa origins and the unique flavor profiles each
growing region produces. Why not try a chocolate tasting gift set or chocolate
bar hamper? We have several to choose from. They make a great talking point or
after-dinner discussion as you and your guests savour the different flavours.
Perhaps you could play ‘guess the origin’?
Cocoa has been revered since the Inca’s and with
good reason. It has the power to make us feel better, just by tasting a small
square, or drinking it in a hot chocolate drink. Now that really is something
to celebrate.
