Kakaoens vej til at blive verdens bedste chokolade (i Danmark)
En solstrålehistorie på trods. Chokolade er elsket af alle, men er i dens korte historie, en fortælling om kæmpe monopoler, børnearbejde og børneslaveri og en enorm green washing, der er umulig at gennemskue for almindelige mennesker.
Hør om, og smag på verdens bedste chokolade, Friis-Holm Chokolade der blivet lavet i Herslev, lige uden for Roskilde.
Få historien om Mikkel Friis-Holms vej fra kok til at blive verdens mest præmierede chokolademager, og få viden om, og nøglen til, at forstå forskelle i kvalitet og ordentlighed.

Talk: The Journey of Cacao to Becoming the World’s Best Chocolate (in Denmark)

The journey of cacao to becoming the world’s best chocolate (in Denmark)


A story of hope against the odds. Chocolate is loved by everyone, yet its short history tells a story of powerful monopolies, child labour and child slavery, as well as extensive greenwashing that is difficult for ordinary consumers to navigate.


Hear about — and taste — some of the world’s best chocolate, Friis-Holm Chocolate, produced in Herslev just outside Roskilde. Learn about Mikkel Friis-Holm’s journey from chef to becoming one of the world’s most awarded chocolate makers, and gain insight into — and the key to understanding — differences in quality and integrity.
