« Go back Turin and the art of chocolate
Turin officially opens the 2026 edition of Cioccolatò, the benchmark event for the confectionery arts that transforms the Piedmontese capital into a global stage for the cocoa supply chain. For FederCamere, this event represents a fundamental asset—not only for local promotion but, more importantly, as a strategic driver for the internationalization of Italian companies.
The Italian confectionery sector remains one of the most dynamic segments of the "Made in Italy" brand, with steadily increasing demand from both established and emerging foreign markets. Cioccolatò serves as a crucial moment for companies planning to launch or strengthen import-export operations, offering a unique meeting point between high-end artisanal production and the needs of international large-scale distribution.
The Federation’s objective is to transform the cultural prestige of events like this into concrete commercial opportunities, facilitating dialogue between Italian producers and foreign partners interested in investing in the taste and food technology of our country.
Regarding the strategic importance of the event, Maurizio Carnevale, President of FederCamere, stated:
"Cioccolatò is not just a celebration of taste; it is a true platform for commercial policy. As FederCamere, our commitment is to act as a bridge between Italian excellence and foreign markets, facilitating B2B relations and providing companies with the tools to navigate export challenges. Italian chocolate, with its history and technological innovation, is an extraordinary ambassador. Through high-caliber trade fairs like this, we enable international buyers to receive high-value commercial news and establish lasting partnerships, bringing the added value of our companies to the global stage."
