Dozens of Russians savored at the XNUMXst Cocoa and Venezuelan Chocolate Festival in Russia the tablets from four Carabobo chocolate houses.
During the first Venezuelan Cocoa and Chocolate Festival in Russia, organized by the Venezuelan-Russian Chamber of Economic Cooperation (Caverus), dozens of Russians tasted dark chocolate bars from four Carabobo chocolate houses.
In this directed tasting, the dark chocolate bars of the Carabobo Valle Canoabo, 20/20, Cocoa and Mantoro chocolate brands were savored.
The director of the Caverus office in Moscow, Henry Manchuca, told Prensa Latina that more than 15 Russian companies linked to the production and marketing of cocoa and chocolate were invited to the festival.
"We are making great efforts so that Russian companies, large corporations from this country, know the quality of these products to increase non-traditional exports from Venezuela," reported Manchuca.
For his part, the director of the Institute of Latin America of the Academy of Sciences, Dmitry Razumovsky, highlighted to this medium that the Latin American region is the cradle of cocoa, and urged his countrymen to be interested in this part of the South American gastronomic culture.
“In Russia, this kind of pleasures, let's say gastronomic, is not yet very developed, but nevertheless the prospects are huge. We thank Venezuela for the sustained efforts over the years to promote its chocolate brands in the country,” said the academic.
Likewise, on behalf of the Russian companies, the founder of the Chocolates Maroussia brand, María Maiskaya, expressed her intention to market the Venezuelan cocoa bean, considering that in the near future this item will have considerable potential in the Russian market.
This brand of chocolate made in Russia makes its bars with cocoa from different Latin American countries, including Venezuela, which it obtains from different varieties such as Sur del Lago and Carenero Superior.
Caverus representatives at the close of the Festival confirmed that this will be the first of several meetings.
