Chloé’s bean-to-bar workshop is much more than a chocolate-making class—it’s a strategic investment in your business and your craft. Many of the world’s finest, award-winning chocolate makers are her former students; this is a rare opportunity to learn from her.
Designed for both seasoned professionals and passionate newcomers, the class will equip students with the skills to unlock the flavor potential of the beans they are working with and the ability to develop a distinctive signature style that sets their work apart.
"For more than a dozen years I have had the pleasure of collaborating with and recommending Chloe to my chocolate industry colleagues. She is the first chocolate "thinker" - someone who approached chocolate appreciation and tasting mindfully long before any others. She is expert on solving problems for chocolate companies of all sizes and successfully improving their processes and products."
-Pam Williams, Ecole Chocolat
Over two immersive days, you’ll learn how to roast, crack, winnow and refine chocolate with in-depth explanations of the “how and why” of every step in the chocolate-making process. Understanding bean potential and flavor development is crucial to the success of the finished product.
