We have been offering this intensive chocolate-making course for many years. It is one of the most important technical seminars for producing chocolate from the bean to the cocoa mass and chocolate industrially, and for processing the chocolate into bars and filled chocolates by tempering and molding.
The seminar can be booked as a complete 3-week course or divided into two separate modules:
Part I: Chocolate (2 weeks) – From the bean to the finished chocolate: learn all about the industrial production, tempering and molding of chocolate bars and pralines.
Part II: Fillings (1 week) – Discover the art of fillings and learn how different recipes and processing techniques affect the end product.
