Students will learn what tempering is, why it matters, and how crystal structure affects chocolate's shine, snap, and texture.

By the end of the class, each student will create and take home their own chocolate bars made with the chocolate they tempered themselves-perfectly shiny, crisp, and delicious.
Let Pastry Chef and Chocolatier, Daniel Joseph Corpuz give you a complete, one-of-a-kind introduction and overview to the bean-to-bar chocolate making process in our fully equipped Chocolate Lab.

Students will observe each stage of production, from roasting of the cacao beans, winnowing, and grinding the winnowed nibs into chocolate liquor, to refining, sifting, and final production of finished molded chocolate bars.
