Celebrating Excellence at the European Chocolate Awards 2025

At Friis-Holm, we don’t just make chocolate—we shape its future. That vision has once again been recognized at the 2025 European International Chocolate Awards, where we were honoured with five Gold, six Silver, and five Bronze medals across multiple categories.

These awards are not simply a measure of taste. They represent our commitment to direct trade, organic craftsmanship, and exceptional quality at every step of the journey—from cacao bean to finished bar.

Why We Compete

The International Chocolate Awards are the only fully independent, global competition dedicated to fine chocolate. Organized by the International Institute of Chocolate and Cacao Tasting (IICCT), the awards aim to promote excellence in chocolate-making and recognize those who drive quality across the industry.

We compete not for prestige alone, but to support and highlight the work of cacao farmers, to raise the bar for what chocolate can be, and to remain a part of a global movement that values quality, sustainability, and innovation.
