The International Chocolate Salon (ICS) and TasteTV have announced the winners of the 2022 Fall Holiday Chocolate Salon.
The holiday and seasonal chocolate show for the San Francisco Bay Area, the Annual Fall Holiday Chocolate Salon, returned this year to Golden Gate Park on November 20.
"The International Chocolate Salon was the first North America-based organization to produce international chocolate awards & widespread live tasting events honoring artisan chocolatiers and confectioners," said ICS leadership. "We recognize that these awards and events are very important for many makers, fans, and admirers, and we strive to continue to support the community and the creators as we have since 2007."
The Salon is pleased to release the results of this year's awards, based on the votes of selected judges and actual Salon attendees.
Established in 2007, TasteTV International Chocolate Salon is one of the premier international bodies celebrating and honoring artisan and premium chocolates and confections.
