Hey Steemit Friends, to continue with part two of the trip, it turns out that I won a golden ticket, I was invited to V International Chocolate Expo Festival, great no? Is like the Willie Wonka Chocolate factory, but way better because in Venezuela we have the best cocoa in the world, recognized by even the Swiss who buy cocoa seeds from Venezuela to use in their mixes, Remember my post about Switzerland? I talked about their diet high in chocolate and lots of cheese. Well, the Swiss had the record of the largest mosaic of chocolate bars in the world, until last weekend.
Hey Steemit Friends, to continue with part two of the trip, it turns out that I won a golden ticket, I was invited to V International Chocolate Expo Festival, great no? Is like the Willie Wonka Chocolate factory, but way better because in Venezuela we have the best cocoa in the world, recognized by even the Swiss who buy cocoa seeds from Venezuela to use in their mixes, Remember my post about Switzerland? I talked about their diet high in chocolate and lots of cheese. Well, the Swiss had the record of the largest mosaic of chocolate bars in the world, until last weekend.
Even had a tunnel that explained that it is cocoa and how it is processed, the press release says faithfully "Chocolate From Thursday, September 28 to Sunday, October 1, the Fundación Nuestra Tierra (FNT) celebrated its V International Chocolate Expo Festival in the facilities of Poliedro de Caracas, with a schedule of activities for the enjoyment and entertainment of the entire audience. More than 140 stands of exhibitors, entrepreneurs and artisans used cocoa and cocoa and chocolate products, which during the four days of fair could show all the visitors"
I had the pleasure to speak with the president of the FNT, Leudys Gonzáles who every year will be responsible for sweetening us one weekend a year, and he told me that One of the main activities was "the third record GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS The World's Greatest Chocolate Bar Mosaic, The contest Queen of the Venezuelan Cacao, the fashion show inspired by the same theme, workshops and conferences with international guests, the cocoa business conference and it's the "Voz del Cacao" festival, nationalist dances and the whole cultural platform in which new artists made the stage, a place to show their talent."
Where I again quote to the press release "For the third consecutive year, the FNT has praised the name of Venezuela in chocolate, this year, in the framework of this activity was able to break the third record GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS by creating the" Biggest Chocolate Bar world "in our country, with 18.56 square meters and more than 1600 bars of this precious product." The cocoa was brought from Caripito which is a locality of the Monagas state in Venezuela, and processed. Each bar of chocolate had a considerable weight and said: I love caripito.
The famous Polyhedron of Caracas with his perfect amphitheater and concert hall of the big ones, from Queen to Cerati (yes because it haunts me and I love it) It was a sea of people, full of cool persons that love chocolate and girls with costumes I was super excited about this, of course I ate TONS of the best chocolate in the world. Venezuelan Chocolate. I can also meet several tourist.
There were bags of my size full of candies and different types of chocolates. There were even the machines to make chocolates hearts and stuff.
Other of the genius activities were typical Venezuelan dances many groups were present and I was even able to personally congratulate the winners. The prize was a crystal cacao that has an engraving that says "Cacao de Oro" that means Golden Cocoa.
In this astonishing event also took place The Chocolate Fashion Show. Had you forgotten that it is the country with the most beautiful women in the world? The designers gave free rein to their imagination when they had to extract the inspiration of the cacao. The clothes made the best of the models.
There were numerous stand with displays of cocoa and chocolate I was like a little girl in Christmas. All photos that mark @fundatierra were provided by the Foundation Our Land or FNT and part of the information also thanks to the press release that they previously sent to my email with special permission to use the photographs you can also contact them in the mail: [email protected]
Also I went to Hard Rock Cafe (Job stuff) I was there making a Special report for the radio. Like haunting talents, but better. Maybe I would maybe make a third post.
Thanks for reading me again. If you like it please let me know in comments. I would love to read you as well!
