Cacao Barry^®, Callebaut^® and Carma^® are searching for the next U.S. National Chocolate Master. The U.S. titleholder will advance to compete against top culinary artisans from 18 countries in the 2013 World Chocolate Masters, an initiative of Barry Callebaut. World Chocolate Masters is in its 5^th edition and is the only global culinary competition dedicated to the art of chocolate.

Barry Callebaut today announced the launch of a new lactose-free milk chocolate first to be sold in the company’s Region Europe. The new chocolate differs from existing offerings by using a special skimmed milk powder with the lowest lactose content available on the market. With this particular powder, Barry Callebaut can allow higher amounts of milk powder in its recipe which preserves all the goodness from the milk- resulting in a similar taste as regular milk chocolate.

Cacao Barry, the Premium chocolate partner for passionate artisans since 1842, was chosen for the second consecutive year to be the exclusive chocolate sponsor of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants event, which took place in London, UK, on April 30^th, 2012.

Cacao Barry^®, the French premium chocolate brand, is proud to announce that Simon Bregardis has been named Chocolatier of the Year in its annual L’Art du Chocolatier™ Challenge, an all-chocolate, U.S. competition that encourages creativity and expertise in designing and executing original creations. Bregardis is an Assistant Pastry Chef at Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

From the 23^rd until the 27^th of April, Callebaut, the preferred chocolate partner for craftsmen all over the world, invited 10 customers who won its online 100 years competition, to visit Ghana, the second largest cocoa producer in the world. Coming from Australia, Brazil, The Netherlands, Poland and United Kingdom, they had the privilege to experience the world of cocoa and discover the story behind their preferred Callebaut chocolate.
