Hudson Valley Chocolatiers Winners of International Chocolate Awards

Congratulations are in order for Bryan and Dahlia Graham’s Fruition Chocolate. Not only are they one of only a few chocolatiers in the United States who produce all of their chocolate directly from the cocoa bean, they also recently received gold and silver awards at the 2015 International Chocolate Awards in London, according to the Hudson Valley News Network.

According to their website, The International Chocolate Awards is an independent competition recognizing excellence in fine chocolate making and in the products made with fine chocolate. Fruition Chocolate received gold in the Plain/origin milk chocolate bars category for their Maranon Milk and silver in the Milk chocolate bars with an infusion or flavoring for their Barrel Aged Dark Milk.

Just four short years ago, Fruition Chocolate started creating their chocolate delights in Shokan, and now operate a Hudson Valley boutique location in the heart of Woodstock. They also work closely with Tuthilltown Spirits, Bread Alone, Newburgh Brewery and Roneybrook Farm as well as making plans for a larger manufacturing facility, according the Hudson Valley News Network.

The article also states that Fruition Chocolate have invited all chocolate lovers to a celebratory open house this Saturday, November 7 from 5 – 7 PM. They are located at 3091 Rt 28 in Shokan.
