Current trends in the chocolate industry and how to navigate your way through the ever-expanding chocolate marketplace.
While most industries are experiencing slow growth, the chocolate industry is booming! Every day, new and interesting chocolates are appearing on the shelves, making the task of choosing a chocolate more and more complex. Join Bittersweet Buyer and Merchandise Manager, David Salowich for an exploration of this exciting moment in chocolate’s long history. Together, we will explore several factors fueling this boom and look at their underlying issues.
Dark Chocolate: How dark chocolate can be part of a nutritious diet - really! Plus, the secret truth behind cacao percentage and the difference between single bean origin and blended chocolates.
Milk Chocolate: It’s a new day for milk chocolate! Chocolatiers are making milk chocolates which rival the best of the darks. Put your preconceived notions aside and become reacquainted with an old friend.
Fair Trade and Organic Certification: While certification can be a valuable tool, learn about non-certified chocolates which are de-facto organic and fairer than Fair Trade.
American Chocolate Makers: We could go on and on about the stunning chocolates of Utah and Missouri, which rival the best chocolate houses of Belgium and France. And we’re not joking.
Chocolate and friends: One of the keys to chocolate’s continued popularity is the ingenuity of chocolate makers, who craft incredible chocolates with interesting flavor combinations. Goats milk, sea salt, bread, and even bacon, take chocolate to a whole new level.
