Perhaps few people know that the inventive Maltese were among those who pioneered chocolate in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Now, Goodies Ltd of Qormi, in conjunction with Italian producer ICAM Cioccolatieri, is bringing the European journey of one of the world’s most popular superfoods full circle in Malta. Seen here is ICAM’s master chocolatier Gaetano Mignano with Maypole pastry chef Clifford Grima (left) working with chocolate at Maypole Bakery in Qormi. The Italian chocolatier held a series of workshops in various establishments in Malta.
