Chocolate Awards
Who is the world's best chocolatier?
There is a 'best brewery in the world' and 'best beer in the world' but I cannot find who the world's best chocolatier/chocolate maker is. Someone must have been awarded this title, can anyone tell me who? As official as possible please, not personal preferences.
Amedei, a family-run Italian company based in Tuscany, has taken chocolate experts by storm across the world.
The big difference between them and almost every other chocolate making company is that they source and process their own cocoa beans. Almost everyone else -- including the top-priced brands -- starts with ready-made chocolate.
Amedei took the Gold Award at the 2007 Academy of Chocolate awards: the rest of the award winners are listed here too, which should help you pick out the top runners in the world today... http://www.academyofchocolate.org.uk/academy/winners/2006.html

Here's a link for a fascinating radio documentary on chocolate-making (click "listen again" to hear the whole thing). It was broadcast on Radio 4's "The Food Programme" just before Christmas: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/foodprogramme_20071223.shtml
