The Academy of Chocolate has announced the results of the Academy’s Thirteenth Golden Bean Awards.
The Academy of Chocolate was founded in 2005 by five of Britain’s leading chocolate professionals, united in the belief that eating fine chocolate is one of life’s great pleasures. They encourage chocolate lovers to look ‘beyond the label’ to differentiate between chocolate confectionary and ‘real’ chocolate.
Almost a thousand bars from across the world were submitted for judging, with both plain and flavoured white chocolate bars scoring highly
