Callebaut
Callebaut has created its chocolate for over 100 years, retaining quality and taste for generations of chocolatiers and pastry chefs. Starting with the roasting process of a whole cocoa bean, which imparts flavor and aroma to each chocolate variety, the line culminates in a range of products that enhance and complete the desserts of both home and professional bakers and chocolate fountains! Chocolate manufacturer Callebaut recognizes the quality of the brand and imparts exceptional taste to its customers.
WHO IS A CALLEBOUT?
Octaaf Callebaut began making chocolate products in 1911, but as the company grew, it later switched to making ready-made chocolates for food professionals. Throughout the entire existence of the brand, he has always had an incomparable taste and desire to move forward.
COMPANY HISTORY
The history of the company begins with the Chocolaterie Callebaut, and personally with the visions of Octaaf Callebaut, some of his original chocolate recipes are still produced today.
The company was formed in the small Belgian town of Viese, and after several years of successful work, merged with the French company Cacao Barry, forming a joint company: Barry Callebaut.
Today Barry Callebaut is one of the best cocoa producers in the world. His long list of victories includes cocoa and chocolate factories around the world, as well as stores in various countries. This global management means consumers everywhere can access, operate and enjoy Callebaut products.
In 1925, Callebaut chocolate became a top favorite for pastry chefs, chefs, bakers and catering companies around the world.
Modern considerations for a promising brand include sustainability and fair trade principles evident in their product lines that come from cocoa sources around the world. Cocoa development and community programs support a collective focus on the future of suppliers and the sustainability of chocolate.
GLOBAL CHOCOLATE COMMUNITY
The Ambassador Callebaut Club not only supports the introduction of new products and innovative packaging methods, but also encourages the creation and exchange of recipes through professional events. Numerous awards for success in the preparation and baking of chocolate make Callebaut a leader in the chocolate industry.
In addition, back in 1988, Callebaut opened its first chocolate school, Callebaut College, to expand public knowledge and enjoy chocolate in all its forms. Helping chocolates improve their skills, hone delicious recipes, and share their knowledge with others has been the motivating force of college.
The brand currently runs chocolate making courses around the world as part of the Callebaut Academy of Chocolate, which opened in 2011. These courses cover a range of thematic topics such as chocolates, chocolate snacks, and even design artifacts and figurines. Expanding its Academy worldwide allows Callebaut to attract more professionals and chocolate lovers than ever before.
