The Venezuelan company Cakawa Chocolates won the
silver and bronze medal at the Chocolate Salon in Versailles, Paris, where
the Agency for the Valuation of Agricultural Products (AVPA) awarded it the
prize, the Ministry of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs
and International Trade reported on its official Instagram channel.
The silver medal was awarded to Alto Apure chocolate,
made by producer Caren Izaguirre, a native of that state. On the other
hand, the bronze medal went to chocolate with cacao from the
Germplasm Bank, produced in Barlovento, Miranda state.
“This achievement pays tribute to the efforts of our
producers, the richness of our soils and the artisanal tradition that
positions us as world references for the best cocoa,” the foreign ministry said in its official statement.
In addition, the Platform of the
Export Promotion Agency (VENEXPORTA) described the domestic product as a key to the agri-food
engine, reflecting producers and the cocoa industry.
In the same way, national cacao was described as an item with high
potential for export and trade due to its historical value.
The firm Cakawa was honored in France with the Paris 2024 Gourmet
Product award, awarded by the AVPA to its Barinas 71% and Patanemo 71% tablets.
Both chocolates are made with Venezuelan cacao, an input
highlighted by VENEXPORTA as the highest quality in the world thanks to its aroma and finesse.
