Keystone-SDA
Nearly 10,000 people discovered the magic of chocolate at the 12th edition of Chocolatissimo in Neuchâtel in western Switzerland.
An evening out, film screenings, tastings of all kinds of delicacies, workshops for children: the public made the most of the many activities on offer, the organisers said in a press release on Saturday.
During the chocolate making competition, 33 apprentices did justice to the fantasy theme of this year’s edition and presented chocolate versions of dragons, griffins, fairies and other fantastic creatures.
