Cacao of Excellence invites the global cacao and chocolate community to join us on Friday, 20 February 2026 for the Cacao of Excellence Awards, taking place during the Chocoa Trade Fair in Amsterdam. This year’s celebration will honour the Best 50 producers of 2025 through four regional Award ceremonies, followed by the inaugural Seguine Cacao Auction.
The event will be held in person at the Beurs van Berlage and streamed live for those joining online. The Awards shine a light on the remarkable skill, dedication, and diversity that define high-quality cacao around the world.
Attendees are encouraged to explore the wider Chocoa programme, which offers a full range of professional events and learning opportunities. These include the Chocolate Makers Forum, the second annual Farmer’s Day, the European Markets Academy, and many other activities designed to support and strengthen the cacao and chocolate sector.
