Switzerland, which is the true place of birth of chocolate, was represented from exhibitors like Ovomaltina, Aux Douceurs du Palais, Philippe Pascoet and Canonica. While Italy was represented by names such as Slitti, De Bondt, Donna Elvira, Antica Dolceria Bonajuto, Offelleria Rizzato, Domori, L'Artigiano di Giardini, Guido Gobino and La Compagnia del Cioccolato.
Slitti won the first prize for his Slitti Lattenero 45%, milk chocolate with high content of cocoa, Slitti GranCacao 73% pure dark chocolate and Gianera, dark chocolate spread.
Great job, Andrea!
