The Chocolate Way

Developedas a European ‘Cultural Route of Chocolate’, The Chocolate Way is a journey across Europe where citizens and visitors can experience the unique role that European skill and inventiveness have played in the world of chocolate. The route, whether a single visit to a chocolate shop or a visitor attraction, or a tour around a historic chocolate region, takes us on a journey through time and space in chocolate. It is a journey that connects us with the ancient and traditional use of cacao by the Aztecs and Maya and their ancestors, through to the modern and global love of all things chocolate. This cultural journey connects European chocolate eaters with the producers and farmers who grow cacao in Latin America, Africa and around the tropics, helping to build mutual understanding and collaboration. In this sense, the message of The Chocolate Way evokes the principles of the UNESCO Universal Declaration 2001 on Cultural Diversity and those of the UNESCO 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of Diversity and Cultural Expressions.

The Association was born on 2013 and itis the first international chocolate network celebrating the culture, tradition and history of chocolate historical districts at a European level. It works to support ethical practices in the supply chain of chocolate, from the production of cacao, through to the chocolate-eating consumer. The Chocolate Way promotes an understanding of the culture, history and value of this ancient nutritious food and encourages the production of high quality products that respect these values.

The Association involves, and keep involving, in its network and initiatives: local enterprises, chambers of commerce, institutions, municipalities, scientific and education partners, associations and organizations, chocolate exhibitions, chocolatiers, museums to share the European historical and cultural heritage in cacao & chocolate.

The Chocolate Way, used as an educational and tourist tool, shows the journey from where cocoa originated in South America to every corner of Europe, where it is enjoyed by young and old in many forms. Chocolate links intangible heritage with a very tangible product and the story of chocolates’ creation, uses, evolution and tradition illuminates European history in an interesting way. TCW is therefore illustrative of European memory, history and heritage.

Municipality of Hollókő

Holloko is located in Nógrád county, in the northern part of Hungary. It is well-known for its over hundred years old houses; however, it does not in the least resemble a skanzen (village museum) or a museum, because it is much livelier than many towns even larger than this. It preserves its tradition, character and dignity in a way that it is not “as if” but it is “it”. Since 1987, the 67 protected and fairytale like houses of the Old Village are registered by the UNESCO and they were the first ones to form part of this list where the world’s most valuable heritage can be found. Moreover, this was the first village in the world winning this title. Approaching Hollókő, you can see one of the most emblematic buildings in the village, the 13th-century castle, which impresses the guests with exhibitions and with its fabulous panorama.
