New York, NY — June 28–30, 2026. Villakuyaya, a chocolate brand crafted in Ecuador and expanding into the U.S. market, will debut at the Spark Pavilion during the Summer Fancy Food Show 2026, presenting a focused line of premium chocolate couverture developed for chocolate makers, chocolatiers, pastry chefs, chefs, and artisan bakers.
As part of the newly launched Spark Pavilion—created by the Specialty Food Association to spotlight emerging brands. Villakuyaya joins a new generation of companies redefining quality and functionality in specialty ingredients.
The brand’s debut centers on three core couvertures:
- 39% — Fine Milk Chocolate: smooth, approachable, highly versatile
- 65% — Fine Dark Chocolate: balanced, structured, flavor-forward
- 80% — Fine Dark Chocolate: intense, bold, designed for depth and contrast
Each couverture is engineered for flavor, aroma, consistency, and workability across a wide range of applications, from tempering and molding to ganache, enrobing, and pastry work.
“For us, couverture is the starting point of creation,” said Tania Terminello, founder of Villakuyaya. “It’s about giving makers a chocolate they can trust, whether they’re crafting bars, truffles, bonbons, or signature pastry, so every piece carries both technical precision and depth of flavor.”
With increasing demand in the U.S. for high-quality chocolate suited for professional use, Villakuyaya positions its couverture line as a premium solution for creators who prioritize both taste and technique.
Its presence in the Spark Pavilion signals the brand’s entry into the specialty food space at a pivotal moment—where emerging brands are driving innovation and setting new standards.
