El Tribunal de Justicia de la UE ha fallado contra Italia, por querer mantener la denominación ‘chocolate puro’, para el que está hecho sólo con manteca de cacao.
La sentencia deja un gusto amargo.
“En los grandes chocolates artesanales como el Modicano, uno de mis favoritos, notamos la calidad, estamos tranquilos, cada detalle está en la etiqueta” dice un joven italiano. “El sabor es más intenso cuando hay cacao puro y materias grasas naturales. Se nota la diferencia” comenta otro transeúnte.
Italia ha sido condenada por negarse a aplicar la directiva europea que permite usar hasta un 5 por ciento de grasas vegetales no provenientes del cacao en la elaboración del chocolate.
Según la sentencia la mención chocolate puro es contraria al sistema de denominaciones de la UE.
Italia deberá acatar la sentencia y adaptar el etiquetado o podría enfrentarse a importantes sanciones.

DJ Ivory Coast November 1-7 Average Cocoa Price XOF870/kg - BCC
11/10/10 10:59:10 EST
ABIDJAN (Dow Jones)--The average price paid for one kilogram of cocoa beans
at Ivory Coast's farm gates in the period Nov. 1-7 was 870 CFA francs [$1.82],
up on the XOF850/kg the previous week, according to data published by the BCC
Coffee and Cocoa Marketing Body Wednesday.
The highest price paid in the period was XOF950/kg, the lowest price was
XOF800/kg.
"If you can make it to the town, the price is XOF950/kg, up from the
XOF750/kg we had recently, but in the bush you get XOF800-850/kg", said Jonas
M'Bra, a cocoa farmer in the Daloa region.
"I think buyers are using the elections as an excuse as we wait for the
second round," he said. "No-one was buying in the days after the election and
around that time the prices increased."
Ivory Coast is currently preparing for a second round presidential run-off
between current president Laurent Gbagbo and former International Monetary Fund
deputy managing director Alassane Ouattara, scheduled for Nov. 28.
Concern about violence and looting tied to electoral disputes has reduced
cocoa trading as buyers don't want to be caught with lots of stock on their
hands.
"There are a lot beans to be bought, but buyers seem to be concentrating on
emptying their warehouses", said Blaise Ouraga, a cocoa farmer in the San Pedro
region.
"In the bush, the price is fairly static," he said. "Prices have improved
slightly in the port, but the state of the bush roads at the moment is terrible
and that means farmers are getting a lower price."
Continuing rains provide good conditions for the cocoa trees, but have
waterlogged the earth tracks used to bring cocoa from the smallholder farms.
Follows a table of average prices paid by region.
All prices below are in CFA francs a kilogram ($1=XOF460.4).
