Salon du Chocolate – Paris 2019

Our friends from ZOTO and us had so much fun at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris from 30th October to 4 November 2019. We presented our award-winning tree-to-bar chocolate, Betulia cocoa beans, cacao pods and a lot of juicy details from our Hacienda in Colombia.

We´ve met with business partners, clients, chocolate makers, fine cacao lovers and good old friends! Our impressive success story continues.

Muchas gracias. Thanks to all visitors. See you at the next Salon.
