The Season of Chocolate

Indulgence, nostalgia, and innovation—key cornerstones of today's culinary landscape, particularly when it comes to one of the world's most beloved treats: chocolate. In the current climate of cuisine consciousness, consumers are increasingly using food as a form of escapism and distraction from their everyday troubles, and chocolate always emerges as the ultimate symbol of indulgence and satisfaction. This has led not only to a resurgence of global flavours, but also a reflection on what makes us feel comforted.

This being said, consumers are still willing to splurge when the moment is right, allowing themselves moments of luxury in the form of deluxe delicacies that bring joy to the pallet. In recent years, there's been a delightful resurgence in classic and retro desserts, with chocolate taking centre stage. From the comforting warmth of bread-and-butter pudding to the decadent allure of a gooey chocolate lava cake, these timeless treats evoke memories of childhood and simpler times. Chocolate, with its rich and velvety texture, has always been synonymous with comfort and joy, offering solace in moments of celebration or commiseration.

But today's chocolate experience goes beyond tradition. In our era of desired luxury and innovation, chocolate is undergoing a renaissance, with creators constantly pushing the boundaries of flavour and texture. Chocolate-covered strawberries, raisins, and other classic fruit-chocolate combinations are making a triumphant comeback, offering a harmonious blend of indulgence and freshness.

Moreover, sustainability is becoming an integral part of the chocolate journey. Innovations around waste management in the cacao supply chain aid in assuaging our chocolate guilt and promoting upcycling in the cacao industry. Of the 14 million tonnes harvested each year, approximately 10 million tonnes are thrown away and 70% of each cacao pod wasted. Therefore, as our love affair with chocolate continues to grow so will the waste, but luckily there is a whole world of innovation around preserving and upcycling, increasing the sustainability of our favourite guilty pleasure.
