The International Chocolate Awards is pleased to announce the Winners of the European, Middle Eastern and African Bean-to-Bar competition, which was judged remotely in April 2026.
The winners‘ announcement was held at the Show/Colat Festival in Bordeaux, France on Saturday, 2nd May during a fun live event where many of our entrants gathered to celebrate craft chocolate made in Europe. Our co-founders Monica Meschini and Martin Christy hosted the event together with some members of our Grand Jury and our local judges.
Winners of this round will pass through to the World Final organized in October-November 2026.
This competition awards prizes for plain/origin and flavoured bean-to-bar products from European, Middle Eastern and African chocolate makers.
Judges
The judges were drawn from local experts, food journalists, our IICCT Alumni and members of our permanent international Grand Jury.
Prizes
All judging is anonymized, including at the Grand Jury final session, where Gold, Silver and Bronze prizes are awarded by private voting.
Awards are awarded only to entries that meet the required standard for each prize.
NOTE ON THE RESULTS: Due to a classification error, the winning Gold entry in ‚Micro-batch Plain/origin dark chocolate bars‘ has been moved to the large-scale category, ‚Plain/origin dark chocolate bars‘.
Following the principle that a Gold win should not be taken away from an entrant due to an error not related to their own product, the Gold already given stands, so there are two Golds given in this category.
The move also changes the results of the ‚Micro-batch Plain/origin dark chocolate bars‘, so the Gold in that category is now assigned to the next highest scoring product, provided the score is at a Gold winning level.
In this case, there are two products tied with identical scores, so Golds go to both of these entries.
The 2026 European, Middle Eastern and African Bean-to-Bar Winners are:
