On 16th October I went to Chocolate Unwrapped show in London which is perfect for someone with an incredibly sweet tooth like me! The show features some of the best chocolatiers in the world such as William Curley, Paul A Young, Lindt, Artisan du Chocolat, Amedai, Kallari and many more. The Chocolate Unwrapped show features demonstrations, tastings, and the chance to meet people from the growing countries too. Special events include the chance to hear about the cocoa plantations which provide us with our beloved sweet treat and there is even a mini chocolate factory which shows you the whole process from bean to bar.
For me, my favourite chocolatier was Paul Wayne Gregory who is an award winning chocolate maker. He has supplied chocolates for the Queens 80th birthday and he describes his chocolates as luxurious like a Bentley car. His chocolates were the best I have ever tasted and I tried salted caramel, raspberry and passion fruit chocolates. They literally hit the spot and they were full of intense fruity flavours and weren’t too rich. I was particularly impressed with Paul Wayne Gregory’s enthusiasm and passion with his chocolate making business which really came through when I chatted to him. He is artistic in his chocolate style and he created a face made out of chocolate which was very impressive.
By the end of the event, I was completely chocced out!!! I have never eaten so much chocolate in my life!!! I am looking forward to the next Chocolate event in December which will have all of the new Christmassy chocolate range!
