Scandinavian Chocolatier Competition 2020 – Winners
The Scandinavian competition celebrates the craft of chocolatiers and chocolate companies who create filled chocolates, truffles, ganaches, caramels, fondants, enrobed fruits and nuts, and spreads made from chocolate couverture or from their own bean-to-bar chocolate and includes flavoured chocolate bars made from chocolate couverture.
Judges
The judges were drawn from local experts, food journalists and pastry chefs, members of our permanent international Grand Jury and guest judges.
Prizes
The categories judged included flavoured chocolate bars, filled chocolates and spreads, and are based on yearly feedback from our entrants and in consultation with the fine chocolate industry. All judging is anonymised, including at the Grand Jury final session, where Golds, Silver and Bronze prizes are awarded by private voting according to the Grand Jury rules.
Awards are given only to entries that meet the required standard for each prize. Winners of the competition go forward to to the World Final.
