The Awards gather top sensory experts to recognise excellence, celebrate cacao diversity, and reward the best producers in the world. 🏆 📅 How to Participate: Starting from now, June 2024, National Organisation Committees (NOCs) across cacao producing origins are currently being established. The list of NOC Contact Points will be communicated to you via our social media channels and posted on our website the MINUTE we have a solid list of established NOCs. You would then contact your NOC for more information on how to participate. NOCs play a crucial role in pre-selecting bean samples, shipping them to our lab in Rome, and serving as the main point of contact between Cacao of Excellence and producers.
