The 2015 Grenada Chocolate Festival celebrates the island’s delicious high quality cocoa and chocolate from 8 to 17 May. Now in its second year, the festival creates a platform for cocoa farmers, together with chocolate producers and vendors, local business, schools, hotels and restaurants, food sellers, and everyone who has a passion for chocolate.

Our theme this year is “Bean to Bar” inspired by the pioneering work of Mott Green and the Grenada Chocolate Cooperative. It follows the story of cocoa from the farmers all the way to the chocolate bar and aims to raise the profile of Grenadian cocoa and chocolate, and celebrate its current and future potential.

Grenada is at the forefront of a global trend for high quality, ethically produced, single origin, organic cocoa.  It is 1 of only 17 countries internationally producing this exclusive product.  Furthermore, 100% of the cocoa produced on the island is of high quality, a status achieved by only 8 other countries worldwide.

The launch of the festival is on Friday, 8 May, 6pm at True Blue Bay Resort. Everyone is invited to to join and “Get in the Mood for Chocolate” at the opening party with Creole folk band “Bwa Mabi” sponsored by the Alliance Française de la Grenade, and a charity silent auction.
