The 2015 edition of the Salon du Chocolat Official Mook (¥1,000), a guide to enjoying the annual chocolate festival, Salon du Chocolat 2015, will be released on December 18th. The magazine features over 200 chocolates, including many new releases, all photographed, and includes on-site interviews, primarily in France. Based on exclusive interviews with up-and-coming chocolatiers and pastry chefs, the magazine fully explores the appeal of their chocolates. This magazine focuses on the key ingredient selection required for creating delicious chocolate. While chocolatiers have traditionally focused on processing commercially available couverture, they are now increasingly turning to cacao as an ingredient. To explore the "Bean to Bar" style, a movement that involves roasting cacao and cultivating the beans themselves, a process previously reserved for specialists, the editorial team visited a cacao farm for the first time. This magazine reports on the true essence of "bean to bar" cacao harvesting and fermentation at cacao farms in Ecuador, Mexico, and Vietnam. Also noteworthy is the significant change in the selection method for the awards of the prestigious French chocolate enthusiasts' association, the C.C.C. (Club des Crocours Chocolat). This issue lists this year's award winners and all 180 participating brands. With 32 more pages than last year, the Salon du Chocolat Official Mook 2015 is packed with even more information. It's a must-have for Salon du Chocolat and chocolate fans. Fashion Headline is giving away a copy of the Salon du Chocolat Official Mook 2015 to 10 lucky subscribers. The deadline for entries is noon on December 11th. Winners will be notified by email on December 12th.
