Master Chocolatier Bootcamp

Five intensive days to produce your own chocolate from the bean. You start where a master starts — the palate — and finish formulating and producing with professional judgment, without hand calculations or copied recipes.

Who is it for?

  • You already formulate (fillings, pastry) and want to take the leap to making your own chocolate.
  • You want real consistency across batches: the same texture, shine, stability and flavor every time.
  • You want to taste with method and formulate with data — not depend on borrowed recipes or trial and error.
  • You need hygiene, regulations and labeling to sell to professional standards.

One cohort per month. The five days set the release order of the content, not a deadline to finish.

What sets the Bootcamp apart

Sensory analysis isn’t a pretty tasting at the end of the process.

It’s the skill that helps you decide which cacao to buy, which defect you’re perceiving, which roast profile fits, and whether the next batch keeps the intention of the last one. That’s why the Bootcamp starts by training your senses and ends by connecting that information to formulation, production and control.

  • RecognizeIdentify attributes and defects with a more precise vocabulary.
  • RelateConnect what you perceive to cacao, roast, formula and process.
  • RepeatDocument a profile and use it as the reference for your next batch.

Voices of students who took the workshop

What our students say

I’m a chemist by training and I’ve spent several years working in the pharmaceutical industry. I was impressed by the explanation of the production areas and the use of equipment — everything very close to what you’d find in a real factory.

Portrait of Alejandra Morales, ChocoAcademy studentAlejandra MoralesChemist

The workshops are excellent — very focused, and you can tell they are prepared with a lot of love and specificity. I recommend them.

Portrait of Diana Santa Aristizabal, ChocoAcademy studentDiana Santa AristizabalChocolatier

Thanks to the workshop, I learned to formulate my own fillings and control moisture. Now my slabbed bonbons last much longer. It was exactly what I needed.
