Eurochocolate is a chocolate festival celebrated every year in a small city called Perugia. Yesterday, my 2 other roommates and I decided that we would hop on a train and check out this festival of deliciousness. Of course, we were not expecting it to be such a big event. As we we were nearing the city center (which is located way up high on top of a mountain), we began to see more and more people walking down with bags full of chocolate delicacies. Escalators took us up the rest of the way, where we were jostled by thousands of anxious chocolate seekers.
There many different european chocolate brands present, and even more types of chocolate treats: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, hot chocolate, chocolate with nuts, chocolate shaped into hammers, chocolate spreads, chocolate covered fruits, chocolate sculptures, chocolate kebabs, crepes with chocolatey nutella....are you getting the picture? It was a chocolate lover's dream and let's just say I was in heaven.
After treating ourselves to creamy hot chocolate, chocolate covered apples, and crepes con nutella our chocolate cravings were more than satisfied. It was a chilly evening and we had to catch a train back to Florence, so our Eurochocolate adventures had to end there. If you're ever in Italy during this time, please go. It is like nothing else you will ever see.
Lindt Chocolatier, passing out free chocolate!
