The Čokoljana chocolate fair is becoming part of the traditional offer at the cuisine-oriented Pogačar Square. Stalls, which typically host the Open Kitchen event on Fridays, were full of chocolate delicacies this Saturday for the sixth edition of the Ljubljana Chocolate Festival.

"There are more providers every year, this year there are sixty stalls,” told the organizer of the event Maja Kralj to the MMC. "The interest is extremely high, three quarters of the stands have been reserved in April," she explained, adding that providers mainly come from Slovenia. Among them are renowned chocolate makers and small, boutique confectioners.

As with the number of providers, the range of products continues to expand, with the organizers preparing novelties each time – chocolate pizzas, lollies and beer have been joined by a chocolate hamburger this year.
