On October 16, the biggest chocolate tasting event will be held in Yerevan.

The Armenian Company Grand Candy broke the Guinness World Record for the biggest chocolate bar by making a bar weighing 4,410 kg on September 11.

The bar, 5600x2750x2750 millimeters, was made in four days using cocoa beans imported from Africa.

This is the first officially registered Guinness record in industry in Armenia over the last 20 years. According to the Guinness terms, the bar is 70% made from natural primary products – 500kg of cocoa beans and 300kg of powdered sugar.

The previous Guinness record is a 3,580-kg chocolate bar made in Italy in 2007.
