When passion earns a medal.

From Brașov to the international chocolate stage.

In 2023, Livstory participated in the European, Middle Eastern and African Bean-to-Bar competition of the International Chocolate Awards.

Two of our bars received bronze medals that year:

Uganda Semuliki 70%

and

Dark Milk Chocolate with Coffee.

A year later, the story continued.

At the 2024 European edition, Uganda Semuliki 70% received a silver medal with a score of 90.1.

Nicaragua O'Tuma 100% was awarded gold in the high-percentage dark chocolate category with a score of 89.2, along with the Gold: Chocolate Maker distinction.

And our Dark Milk Chocolate with Coffee won gold with a score of 90.2, along with the special Innovation and Ingredients distinctions.

Then came the World Final 2024.

Uganda Semuliki 70% received bronze.

Nicaragua O'Tuma 100% received bronze.

And the Dark Milk Chocolate with Coffee was awarded gold globally in the 'Milk chocolate bars with an infusion or flavouring' category with a score of 89.8, alongside the special Recipe distinction.

For us, awards don't change the reason we make chocolate.

But they do confirm something important.

Choosing a specific origin, the roast profile, the texture, the balance of a recipe, and all the small decisions that the person unwrapping the bar doesn't see, can indeed be felt in the final product.

And for that, we are grateful.
