Prizes

The categories judged included flavoured chocolate bars, filled chocolates and spreads, and are based on yearly feedback from our entrants and in consultation with the fine chocolate industry. All judging is anonymised, including at the Grand Jury final session, where Golds, Silver and Bronze prizes are awarded by private voting according to the Grand Jury rules.

Awards are awarded only to entries that meet the required standard for each prize.

Special prize for innovation

Our first special prize for innovation was given to Goodio, Finland, for their use of desiccated coconut to create alternative ‘milk’ chocolate bars. Although none of their products strictly met the criteria for the categories entered, the Grand Jury chose to recognise these products for their inventiveness and flavour, giving particular recognition to Goodio’s ‘Harmony’ bar, flavoured with liquorice root and anise.
