The workshop guides you through the chocolate-making process from cacao plantations to production in the Brussels facility. You will taste raw cacao beans, cacao liquor, and several premium origin cacaos from different countries.
The activity takes place in a 150 m² air-conditioned training centre equipped to welcome up to 60 participants. Hairnets are provided and must be worn during the workshop. Water dispensers and accessible restrooms are available. Dress accordingly for the cool room temperature.
Workshops run three times daily at 11:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 5:00 PM. The workshop is conducted in English, with additional French and Italian spoken by the team.
The chocolate used is premium quality, 100% traceable, and sourced responsibly to ensure no deforestation, no child labor, and fair income for farmers. The workshop partners with Les Clefs d’Or, an international hospitality association.
