The Haitian agribusiness company Ayitika has achieved remarkable success at the 30th edition of the Salon du Chocolat, the world’s largest chocolate fair, held in Paris from October 29 to November 2, 2025. Representing Haiti alongside Norway, Ayitika secured two prestigious ‘Gourmet’ medals from the Agency for the Promotion of Agricultural Products (AVPA) for its Dark Chocolate with Guava and Dark Chocolate with Cinnamon. These accolades were formally presented during the event, highlighting the company’s dedication to quality and innovation. Additionally, Ayitika’s ‘Kanperen-80%’ chocolate bar was awarded the Best Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Bar in the inaugural ‘Les Éclats de Chocolat’ competition, a special initiative celebrating the Salon’s 30th anniversary. This competition, organized in collaboration with Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet, recognized the most innovative, ethical, and flavorful chocolate creations. The ‘Kanperen-80%’ bar, crafted from a blend of Contamana and Amelonado cacao varieties cultivated by rural families in Haiti’s Camp-Perrin region, impressed the jury with its balanced flavors, intensity, and aromatic complexity. As a result of this recognition, Ayitika’s products will be featured at Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet in Paris in spring 2026. The company is also set to participate in the Salon du Chocolat de Montréal from November 20 to 23, 2025, further showcasing its award-winning chocolates on the global stage.
