Martin is presenting at ShowColat 2026!

📢 Great news!

Our director Martin Barthel is going to speak at ShowColat 2026 in Bordeaux on the 3rd of May. ShowColat is the first international bean-to-bar festival in France and will take place in UNESCO World Heritage Site, Port de la Lune. 

This event will bring together chocolate enthusiasts and professionals from the bean-to-bar movement with a common goal: celebrate the quality and craftsmanship of bean-to-bar chocolate making. 

On Sunday, the third and final day of ShowColat, our director Martin Barthel is going to represent Lareka and give a presentation in the conference hall of the Palais de la Bourse. Whether you’re already participating in the festival or you’re still deciding, we invite you to go take a look at Martin’s session and hear about Lareka’s core mission.
