PROMOTIONAL FEATURE
Organised by Callebaut, Caco Barry and Carma, the World Chocolate Masters saw the best chocolatiers in the world redraw the boundaries of working with chocolate.
Involved in chocolate for more than 150 years, well-established Belgian brand Callebaut and French brand Cacao Barry joined forces in 1996 to create a new company, Barry Callebaut.
The UK’s contestant talks technique, authentic flavours and offers advice on how others can get into advanced chocolate work.
James Petrie, UK judge and head of creative development at The Fat Duck Group, shares his thoughts on the competition.
The World Chocolate Masters is, by a considerable margin, the world’s most important competition for chocolatiers and pastry chefs. Organised for the fourth time by Cacao Barry, Callebaut and Carma, the competition sees 20 or so contestants work unaided for three days to produce a huge array of chocolate products under the constant scrutiny of a highly qualified judging panel.
