The Best Chocolate in the World 2025
Regional Champions of the International Chocolate Awards
What is the best chocolate in the world in 2025? It’s a question chocolate lovers everywhere are asking, and the answer is beginning to take shape. Each year, the International Chocolate Awards (ICA) bring together the finest craft makers and chocolatiers, judging their creations through rigorous blind tastings.
While the World Final has yet to be announced later this year, the regional competitions have already crowned their champions. These Gold medal winners — from Europe to the Americas — represent the most exciting contenders for the title of world’s best chocolate in 2025.
Why Regional Gold Matters
The ICA competitions are structured in stages: regional heats first, then the ultimate World Final. Regional Gold medals are more than just victories — they are the tickets to the global stage. Every Gold medalist is now in the running for the ultimate prize, giving us a preview of who might claim the crown as the best chocolate from around the world.
What’s Next? The World Final
The International Chocolate Awards World Final 2025 will take place later this year. There, regional Gold medalists will compete head-to-head for the ultimate titles. Until then, these winners are our strongest contenders for the crown of world’s best chocolate 2025.
