The face behind the Cambridge Chocolate Festival
The brainchild of Riadh Falvo, founder of Cambridge boutique chocolate brand Bumble & Oak and regular Velvet contributor, the festival started life last year with an event at Histon Smokehouse and proved a sell-out success.
The idea for the Cambridge Chocolate Festival came together when founder and local chocolatier Riadh Falvo of Bumble & Oak joined other indies at a market at Histon Smokehouse in 2021. They called it “The Cambridge Takeover”. Following this takeover, the first Cambridge Chocolate Festival was held in February 2022.
