A session that will take you through the many dimensions of working with craft chocolate, from bean to... recipe.

Manali Khandelwal, Director, Subko Cacao talks you through Subko’s approach to craft chocolate, and the differences between fine cacao and mass-market cacao, covering sourcing, post-harvest processing, and the ethical values behind the brand. You'll get a full picture of the pod-to-bar journey, and how craftsmanship, flavor complexity, and traceability define craft chocolate.

The session also covers practical applications including how to work with craft chocolate in recipes, key factors that impact flavor development and control, and what makes craft chocolate a unique ingredient in modern baking and culinary innovation.

The session will end with an interactive Q&A, giving everyone a chance to ask Manali questions about sourcing, technique, product development, and more. Great for pastry chefs, bakers, chocolate makers, and anyone curious about the versatility and value of craft chocolate beyond the bar.
