ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL CHOCOLATE SALON

jointlogoTCB-TasteTVsmThe International Chocolate Salon was founded in 2007 by TasteTV and TCB Cafe Publishing and Media. At that time TasteTV produced the first major artisan and premium chocolate event on the West Coast of North America, the San Francisco International Chocolate Salon. This event was followed by Chocolate Salons in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, as well as other cities.

In 2009, the International Chocolate Salon began award competitions focusing on various categories of chocolates and confections.

To this day it is one of the premier international bodies celebrating and honoring artisan and premium chocolates and confections.
