Expect the weekend to continue its tradition of bringing together the biggest names in the chocolate world, from celebrity chocolatiers and the world’s finest chocolate artisans to leading chocolate brands. Upwards of 80 chocolate exhibitors from a dozen countries will showcase their craft, welcoming both trade professionals and chocolate enthusiasts of all ages.
“We are thrilled to partner with Paris-based Salon du Chocolat for the second consecutive year,” said Sharona Sandberg, Operations Manager, Messe Frankfurt Inc. “Our collaboration builds upon Salon du Chocolat NYC’s storied roots while positioning it for continued growth and innovation in Manhattan’s vibrant culinary landscape.”
The Salon du Chocolat NYC is also thrilled to welcome back legendary chocolatier and Netflix Nailed It! star Jacques Torres, who will headline the Culinary Theater, mesmerizing the audience with his spellbinding chocolate masterpieces. Jacques Torres Chocolate will also maintain a prominent presence, offering their celebrated chocolate confections and innovative treats for purchase.
The international scope of the weekend will shine with an array of exhibitors, including Valrhona Chocolate and Nielsen-Massey, as well as a dedicated Côte d’Ivoire pavilion featuring producers, chocolate makers, and chocolatiers from the West African nation. Bean-to-bar artisans, including notable maker Villakuyaya Chocolate, will demonstrate their craft from cocoa beans to finished bars.
This year, an exciting new Spirits section will debut with a special focus on bourbon and whiskey pairings with chocolate – a trending combination that blends indulgence with craftsmanship. Attendees (over 21 only) can sample cocoa-infused liquors alongside an array of small-batch, handcrafted, regionally distilled spirits that will also be available for purchase.
Everyone’s favorite, The Fashion Showcase, returns with a special nod to America’s 250th birthday. Pastry chefs and chocolatiers will collaborate with rising fashion designers to create real–life wearable designs entirely from chocolate and in tribute to our country’s semi-quincentennial!
