Like coffee, the chocolate bean is endowed with personality depending on the area of cultivation, roasting and other important aspects.
Chocolate is one of the most widely used ingredients in baking and pastry around the world because it’s an extremely versatile element that adds texture and flavor.
Unfortunately, most people tend to buy commercial and industrial chocolate, which is characterized by being mass-produced and having noticeable defects.
That’s why nowadays, bean-to-bar chocolate and chocolate obtained from small batches are highly valued, where maximum attention is paid to both product and technique.
At the end of this online course you will be:
- Familiar with the journey of the cocoa fruit to become the chocolate we know.
- Able to make your own chocolate from scratch.
- To identify the most common mistakes when making chocolate.
- To master the temperature curves of each type of chocolate.
