  Chocolate makers vs. chocolatiers         


Author: Farrel
Date: Aug 21, 2008 15:04

A few years ago I and my family enthusiastically signed up for a tour
of a "chocolate factory." I was expecting to see roasted cocoa beans
on one side of the factory and chocolate on the other. Instead I saw
that the factory started with 5 kg or 10 kg slabs of chocolate
purchased from chocolate wholesalers. Slabs were tossed into a giant
cauldron of molten chocolate in the middle of the factory. Molten
chocolate was then taken from there to make a huge variety of
chocolate candies some of which were specifically designed for the
local market.

I told the owner of my surprise about not seeing chocolate being made.
He explained that there were only about 12 chocolate makers in the
whole world. Companies such as Hershey, Cadbury, Nestle, Mars and
Ghirardelli fit into that category. However, companies such as Godiva,
Sees and thousands of others make chocolate products but do not make
chocolate itself.

I thought the readers of this group would be interested in this
knowledge. Can those of you in the know confirm it?

Which other companies make chocolate as opposed to create and market
chocolate products?

Yesterday, when I drank my coffee after a delicious meal in a
restaurant, they gave me a praline with the coffee.
It was really nice :), and very tasteful, I googled the company who
makes them and found out they came from *'Bouchard Belgian Chocolate'
(http://www.bouchardlescaut.com/en/node/10)*, you should check it out
;)!
