Love it or hate it, chocolate is one of the world’s most widely appreciated delights. But it is all too often associated with unhealthy eating habits, being seen only as a sweet.
Intent on highlighting chocolate’s nutritional characteristics and versatility, Portimão market, in Avenida São João de Deus, and the local tourism and hotel school will be holding a number of demonstrations and tastings – showcasing all kinds of ideas from cakes and sweets to truffles and fondues.
Fruit vendors will join in the fun with discounts on their products to promote chocolate and fruit fondues, while Praia da Rocha’s Onda de Chocolate café will be presenting its highlights.
The initiative will be taking place on Friday (March 21) between 9.30am and 1pm and later from 5pm to 8pm, and on Saturday (March 22) from 9.30am to 1pm.
