Celebrating Our 2025 Academy of Chocolate Award Winners

The results of the 2025 Academy of Chocolate Awards are in, and once again they’ve highlighted some of the most exciting, thoughtful and delicious craft chocolate being made anywhere in the world. We’re proud to share that a number of the makers we work with at The High Five Company have been recognised with multiple awards – a true testament to their skill, creativity and commitment to quality.

The Academy of Chocolate Awards are one of the most respected benchmarks in fine chocolate, judged by panels of experts including chocolatiers, pastry chefs and food writers. For the makers we stock, these awards celebrate not only technical excellence, but originality, ethical sourcing and a deep respect for cacao.
