We were delighted to win a clean sweep this year with all 4 of our entries in the British Craft Chocolatier Competition round of the International Chocolate Awards winning a gong. This takes our total number of awards won to date to 112, all proudly handcrafted here in Dorset.
The International Chocolate Awards are rigorouly judged by a panel of chocolate experts and all entries are judged blind (like the Great Taste Awards) which is hugely important to avoid any brand bias. Our results were posted with the results from the other European competitons and we understand that our winners will be eligible to be entered into the World Finals later this year - we will probably enter the Molasses & Brown Butter Caramel as it is a Gold Winner!
The Molasses & Brown Butter Caramel was created by our development chocolatier Tim for Christmas last year and has been hugely popular with our customers, so we were very pleased to see it win Gold in these awards. It also won a Special Award for our interpretation of a classic caramel chocolate.
We handcraft the caramel here at Chococo, browning the butter by hand before mixing with muscovado sugar, local fresh Dorset cream from Craig's Farm Dairy near Weymouth and black treacle. The resulting rich buttery caramel is just delicious!
Each chocolate is then decorated by hand by Jacqui and her team with cocoa butter naturally coloured with curcumin and a touch of edible bronze shimmer (which really should be gold given its podium position!).
We hope you enjoy tasting these caramel chocolates as much as the International Chocolate Award judges did and that you agree with their decision to award it a Gold.
