This was The Cocoa Project’s first time participating in the competition, and the brand received positive feedback from the judges for the quality of its chocolate. According to the organizers, although the number of entries increases every year, the number of awards remains limited to preserve the value and prestige of each recognition.
Winning a Silver prize on the very first try is a proud achievement — seen by the judges as “a very promising start” for the brand’s journey ahead.

This award is not only a great source of motivation for The Cocoa Project team, but also a proud affirmation of the quality and position of Vietnamese chocolate on the global craft chocolate map.
The Cocoa Project remains committed to sharing the authentic taste of Vietnam through chocolate crafted with passion, inspiration, and a spirit of creativity.
