The Beans
QUALITY CACAO FROM AROUND THE GLOBE
Great chocolate taste starts with growing great cocoa beans. Together with co-operatives in West Africa, Callebaut’s® have started training and education programs that help cocoa farmers adopt modern agricultural practices, working to improve crop quality and quantity.
Farmers learn soil management and crop diversity to grow healthy cocoa trees – and equally important, 1) proper fermentation after the harvest, integral in developing the aromatic and taste precursors of Callebaut’s® great chocolate taste, and 2) drying, essential in preserving the aroma and flavor of the beans, keeping them in good condition through shipment and storage.

Cacao & Me
As a young boy , i remember wanting to be a chef . i always like to cook , so i set my career path very early on . however , things changed when i was in high school . i had the opportunity to do two weeks work experience in a little chocolate shop in Ryde , on the Isle Of Wight and that changed my thinking forever. i learnt that is such a complex product: there are so many possibilities of things you can do with it . from there on , i was hooked. i then went on to do some more work at two other chocolate shops on the island and then an artisan bakers . i now have the opportunity to share my passion and love of chocolate with you
