Celebrating Our Sweet Victory at the World Fine Chocolate Competition!

We are thrilled to share some incredibly sweet news with our Sibö Chocolate family and friends. Recently, we had the honor of participating in the prestigious World Fine Chocolate Competition, and we are beyond excited to announce that Sibö Chocolate has triumphed on the global stage!

Our Award-Winning Creations:

• Huetar 70% Dark Chocolate Bar – Bronze Medal:
  Our Huetar bar, crafted with passion and precision, secured a coveted Bronze Medal. This recognition highlights the rich, complex flavors and silky texture that define our dark chocolate.
• Caramelo Salado (Salted Caramel) Bar – Silver Medal & Honorable Mention:
  Innovating a classic flavor, our Salted Caramel bar not only won a Silver Medal but also earned an honorable mention. This achievement underscores our commitment to blending traditional tastes with unique, modern twists.

Competing against renowned chocolatiers from Switzerland, France, Belgium, Japan, and the USA, these awards are a testament to the exceptional quality of Costa Rican cacao and the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into every Sibö Chocolate bar.

A Message from Our Director of Marketing & Sales:

“To make excellent chocolate, the entire process—from bean selection, fermentation, and drying to roasting, grinding, tempering, and molding—requires technical precision and sensory knowledge. Good chocolate should have brightness, a pleasant aroma, a silky texture, and a complex flavor, just like good wine or coffee.”
— George Soriano
