Celebrate chocolate!
Chocolate Week celebrates the world of fine chocolate from
October 8-14, 2012 being the eighth consecutive year for
the event with the country’s top chocolatiers and chocolate
companies, as well as hotels, bars and restaurants hosting
talks, tastings, demonstrations and samplings.
A consumer show, Chocolate Unwrapped, will be held in
Covent Garden with more than 70 exhibitors offering talks
and demos and the chance to taste and buy the very best
chocolate.
Chocolate Week was set up to promote fine flavour
chocolate from producers who work in direct partnership
with the cocoa farmers, therefore encouraging us to pay a
fairer price for their chocolate. Chocolate Week is supported
by Divine Chocolate, Thorntons, Hotel Chocolat and Ecuador
Tourism.
