Hand Panned
Panning is an original, artisan method of chocolate coating fruit and nuts (or a centre). It is one of the oldest and technical skills of chocolate making. Chocolate is slowly poured over centres in a tumbling coating pan. The speed of the pans circulation and the viscoscity of the chocolate is carefully controlled by the chocolate maker. If too much chocolate is applied, the centres may stick together causing a failed batch.
Meet The Makers
Chocolate can only be made with passion. Period. Could you even imagine a lackluster chocolatier yawning awake in the morning only to make average chocolate?
No. That kind of chocolatier doesn’t exist. Chocolate must be filled with flavor, ignite your inner palate and take you to places you have never been. Simply put, chocolate must make you fall in love bite after bite after bite.
