Chocolatiers from the province of Valencia and artisans from all corners of Spain will gather from January 30 to February 3 at the 3rd Torrent Chocolate Fair. This year, the event is consolidated in the festive calendar with a longer duration, going from 3 to 5 days.
The city has everything ready to celebrate its historic connection with chocolate. The main new feature of this edition is the expansion of the fairgrounds. Exhibitors will now be spread across two epicenters: Avenida al Vedat and Plaza Corts Valencianes.
This hub will host a program full of activities with show cooking and chocolate tastings, which can also be purchased on site.
Alongside local producers, manufacturers from all over the country will be attending with cocoa-based products. In addition, the fair will feature stalls dedicated to cheese, cold meats, traditional sweets, and gourmet products.
The event takes place during a key period for the capital of l’Horta Sud, coinciding with l’Entrada de la Flor (February 1), one of the oldest traditions, with its characteristic “passejà” and “cordà”.
Candelaria (February 2) and Sant Blai (February 3) will also be celebrated, the big day with the closing of the fair and traditional porrat in Ramón y Cajal Street and adjacent streets.
During Sant Blai day, there will be gaiatos, Sant Blaiets, and servings of Rossejat Torrentí, the typical dish of this area of Valencia.
