The Academy of Chocolate
The Academy of Chocolate was launched in the UK in London on 15 June 2005 and its aims are to:
- Encourage chocolate lovers to ‘look beyond the label’ to differentiate between chocolate confectionery and ‘real’ chocolate;
- to improve the standard and knowledge of chocolate in the UK by promoting an understanding of the ingredients of chocolate, through the chain, from bean to bar;
- to encourage the transparent sourcing of cocoa beans from the plantations, and their production in socially fair and environmentally undamaging conditions.
The Academy is made up of chocolatiers and experts in the industry. They hold regular events and organise the Academy of Chocolate Awards each year.
