In this way, her film Nothing Like Chocolate follows in the same vein as her award-winning earlier film The Shape of Water, which depicts intimate stories of women working for social justice around the world, and how some of them are making tremendous strides. In her search for exemplary chocolate-making operations, she hit filmmaker pay dirt when she came across the Grenada Chocolate Factory and its eccentric founder, who would become the focus of the film.

  • By Matt Robinson Once Upon a Time, There Were Few Options for The
    INSIGHTS IN HOSPITAL IT Y™ By Matt Robinson Once upon a time, there were few options for the romantically-inclined to express their feelings. A few colors of flowers and cardboard hearts of various sizes (filled with items of varying quality) were often all that could be found. These days, however, the options are almost overwhelming! That is why we at Santé have organized them so that you can make the most effective choice for wooing and winning the person(s) of your choice. While wining and dining can be a great way to woo, especially as we are all locked in and locked down these days and many of our relationships (including potentially romantic ones) are limited to digital interfaces, it might be a good year to try something more low-key. One great option is the “Crazy for You” pizza and wings combo from Chocolate Pizza Company (www.ChocolatePizza.com). This sweet set combines a gourmet chocolate pizza that is made with homemade English toffee and topped it with red, pink, and white chocolate candies and sugar sprinkles with a 16 oz. red tin of their famed peanut butter wings, which drench rippled potato chips in peanut butter and either milk or dark chocolate. If you are looking to get out and about without leaving home, the Boston Public Library’s Norman B. Leventhal Map Center is offering an online tour of some of the spots that have made Massachusetts a candy capitol for generations (www.leventhalmap.org/articles/candy-tour/). From Paul Revere’s house to the famed wafer-colored silo on the New England Confectionary Company (NECCO) building to the toll house in Whitman, MA where the eponymous cookie was invented, the BPL takes visitors on a tasty tour through history that will take many back to their own childhoods and also inspire them to use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to revisit some old favorites.

  • Icam Cioccolatieri Presents Agostoni
    Icam Cioccolatieri presents Agostoni EXCELLENCE MADE IN ICAM: SEVENTY YEARS OF PASSION AND EXPERTISE. Icam, 70 years of excellent Italian chocolate ICAM chocolate is the result of the undying passion handed down by the Agostoni family since 1946, virtuosos of a genuine chocolate culture made in Italy. Passion, creativity and a close eye on market trends have made it possible to achieve this goal: for 70 years these have represented the essence of ICAM, a well known and successful brand with the best professionals all over the world, that cherish the flavour of its chocolate and the quality of the raw materials, grown in respect of environment, social and economic sustainability. Born from the initiative of Silvio Agostoni who, just after the war, established an artisanal workshop in Lecco to produce sugar, Icam immediately developed an interest in chocolate which was considered no longer a luxury product, but a quality product at an accessible price, to bring to every family. Thanks to the collaboration with Vitali, Icam created an innovative horizontal press that gave a more efficient and uniform production. Ten years after its establishment, Icam reached industrial dimensions. In 1961 the founder died prematurely; his wife Carolina Vanini and her brothers Giancarlo and Urbano continued to run the company and the program of excellence. From the Seventies, with the arrival of the eldest son Angelo Agostoni in the company, Icam started searching cocoa in the best plantations developing a close collaboration with the farmers. In the Eighties Icam opened an in-house Quality Control laboratory and production technologies continued to be improved.

  • Pacari: Premium Organic Chocolate from Tree to Bar
    Pacari: Premium organic chocolate from tree to bar Track: Management Education and Teaching Cases Key Words: Shared-Value, Emerging Markets, Value Added 1 Pacari: Premium organic chocolate from tree to bar Abstract This case portrays the story of Pacari to analyze the chocolate industry's global value chain. Pacari is an Ecuadorian mid-sized company whose chocolate bars have earned countless international awards. Even though the case starts with an apparent decision over the product’s price, it was designed to discuss the concept of shared-value in undergraduate, graduate and executive education programmes. Pacari is a perfect example of a business vision that does not favors financial results, but rather economic and social improvement of social actors in Ecuador. 2 Pacari: Premium organic chocolate from tree to bar Santiago Peralta, General Manager at Pacari, arrived at his office located in the traditional neighborhood of La Floresta in Quito early in the morning, as was his custom. The day before he took part in a meeting where the consequences predicted in Ecuador for the 2016 El Niño phenomenon were explained; El Niño is an erratic climatic event that affects the Ecuadorian Pacific and generates, on some occasions, heavy rains due to temperature changes in the sea. For the mentioned year, a particularly strong ‘Niño’ was expected, with superior intensity than that experienced in the 97-98 period, which brings unpleasant memories to the country due to damage suffered. With his distinctive optimism, Santiago sat down to ponder in his office. There was no doubt that cacao crops, mostly present in the coast of Ecuador, would be affected, complicating the buying process of quality seed.

Moka Fleck won the Best New Product Award and the Bronze Award in the Milk and White Chocolate category and It’s Hot, Honey won the Bronze Award in the Dark Chocolate category. A sofi is the top honor in the specialty food industry. “sofi” stands for Specialty Outstanding Food Innovation and represents the best of the best from members of the Specialty Food Association. Both introduced in January 2017, Moka Fleck is a tantalizing blend of organic 43% dark-milk chocolate, fine-ground Dominican coffee, and crunchy flecks of house-roasted cacao nibs; and It’s Hot, Honey is an organic 57% dark chocolate featuring a spicy, rich caramel center infused with Vermont honey and habanero chili peppers. “We are excited to have two of our newest organic bars recognized with three sofi™ Awards,” says Eric Lampman, President of LCC. “It’s remarkable to think that Moka Fleck was just a limited- edition chocolate bar ten months ago created to support our local Burlington Discover Jazz Festival. The flavor proved so popular that it earned a permanent place in our organic chocolate bar line. And now just four months after its debut, the bar is honored with two sofi™ Awards!” What makes these two bars outstanding is the unique blend of ingredients.
