International Chocolate Day

A Celebration of Cacao

Every September 13, chocolate lovers unite to honor one of the world’s most beloved treats—chocolate. The date aligns with the birthday of Milton S. Hershey, the American chocolate magnate whose name became synonymous with the sweet indulgence.

From its ancient beginnings with the Mayans and Aztecs, who sipped cacao as a bitter ceremonial drink, to the silky bars, truffles, and desserts of today, chocolate has traveled through time as both luxury and comfort. In 2025, chocolate is more than a treat—it’s a global industry, an art form, and for many, an irresistible obsession.

Vibes

Decadent, rich, and celebratory—luxury that feels timeless.
