Chocolate (2)

What’s the difference between chocolatier and chocolate manufacturer?

Simple. Chocolate manufacturers mass produce their chocolate and therefore sold at cheaper prices. While chocolatiers are houses that produce hand made chocolate.

Chocolate manufacturers including Cadbury, Toblerone and Hershey’s mass produced their chocolate and have it sold on the market. Chocolatiers, on the other hands, have their own boutique to sell off their products. Chocolatiers here are brands such as Godiva (the Belgian “G”), Leonidas and such that they normally have their own stores.

However, there are chocolate manufacturer which combines the quality of chocolatiers and produces premium chocolate that sold in the market as well. Which of course, at premium prices. Brands such as Lindt, Valrhona and Callebaut would cost double or even triple their market counterparts.

So after you know all these, you can get chocolate according to the occasion. (or the size of apology you need to make.) For fun times and frequent minor celebrations, M&M’s will do the trick. For getting an A on exam or when she manage to lose 3 Lbs., you can get a Toblerone to lift the mood. Lindt and Valrhona would be nice for occasions such as promotions or romantic-dinner-bouquet-companion. (of course we can always blame the champagne for the high cost incurred) And for valentine’s day, birthday, out-of-ordinary day, or forgetting-any-of-the-above-days, “G” is the answer.

Happy chocolating
