Chocolate has been criminally underrated with very little appreciation for it's nuance and I thank you for helping people see how refined chocolate can truly be. 3 I don't think you meant it in this way but the way you talked about some bitter chocolates gave the impression that all bitter chocolates are the result of over roasted and lack quality. From what I have been told there are just some beans with natural bitterness even when fermented and roasted correctly.

I actually screamed when I came across this. I'm so happy to see this video on the internet. Carolina is so dedicated and passionate about what she does at Exquisito. I'm from Miami and I took my best friend here for her 18th birthday and we did a tour, learned the chocolate-making process, and then decorated our own truffles. It was a beautiful experience. I also bought one of her chocolate bars (my favorite: dark chocolate with almonds). I highly recommend a visit if and when you can. ❤🤎
Humblest flex I’ve ever seen. This lady is so incredibly impressive. Like WOWWW. She is so passionate and so educated on her craft that she knows the molecular structure of cocoa butter!! She built her own machine and then just casually throws in there that she’s a organizational psychologist! And she supports and treats the farmers with dignity and respect we have no choice but to stan.
This lady inspired me to pursue chocolate making. Coming from a country that produces these beans primarily for export but in turn imports lots of chocolate, her voice keeps telling me to learn this and return home where I can help farmers who get paid very little from producing these beans under very harsh conditions.
I'm simply astonished with how she makes chocolate and the relationship she has with the farmers. You can feel the magic she puts in those every piece of art called chocolate. Simply phenomenal.
I am a Food Engineering student in Turkey and I have to say this woman almost knows everything about cacao and the processes that are involved in chocolate making as well as our professors. Wonder if she ever had an education on food production or she is just passionate about what she does. Well, after watching the full video appereantly she just loves chocolate. It is always pleasant to see someone who is passionate about something, especially when it is their job.
Yo if she didnt love chocolate then this video will never exist and she wouldnt know everything about chocolate Oh wait.... you Are Turkish Like me Değilmi ? :)
12:20 Seriously that Hot Chocolate she had must of been indescribably magnificent. After tasting it, she changed her entire career and devote herself to the art of chocolate. Truly amazing.
It might have been Jean-Paul Hévin’s hot chocolate... they were famous for it, and it was unlike any other I’ve ever tasted...decadent as heck. They don’t serve it in store anymore but you can buy the mix and they have videos online explaining how to prepare it correctly.
That is honestly the better way to start a career than not wanting to do anything from hs, so you go to college, and decide a career cause you liked the teacher, and soon realize you dont like the rest of the classes/job.
Damn this is a great video! Lots of science and knowledge and love of labor behind the scenes. I also respect how she keeps everything in the community with giving back to the farmers who do lots of hard work. I saw another video where people had to do all the hard work on the beans but saw how she already purchased the beans pre prepped but now I see how she got them so it makes sense that she gives back to the farmers. It's all a hard work of team effort with everyone putting in their two cents and working together. This is a very positive and educational fun video and I totally dig it! A++++ Thumbs Up! and lots of props and respect to this company and friends and family. This should be on Discovery + or something like that.
This was actually very entertaining and informative. She’s very knowledgeable and I’m very impressed and curious about her. She needs to write a book or something. I’d love to try some chocolate specifically made by her hands. I bet it’s so good . Well this definitely made me a subscriber to this channel!
So happy you enjoyed it! In due time, we would love to welcome you on a tour of our chocolate factory where you will not only get to taste chocolate made by these hands 😛 but also get to make some of your own. Stay tuned at ExquisitoChocolates.com
@@exquisitochocolates8949 id love to try some of your milk chocolate bars but most of them seem out of stock on your website : ( How often do you restock online?
I love how so many of her machines are DIY, like the winnower, even the vibrater thing that they use for the chocolate bars was an ikea cart, so creative!
Thanks, Ashley 😊 In the world of craft chocolate making, resourcefulness is key. You might enjoy this blog post of ours: www.exquisitochocolates.com/blogs/news/the-wonders-of-chocolate-making-machinery
Startech Lonkar, They aren’t begging for likes, they said the the lady in the video is LIKE someone who cares about what she does. Just because a comment has the word “like” in it doesn’t mean they are asking for likes :/
Wow. This lady knows she is talking about. I wasn’t surprised to hear she had a strong education, you can tell. She is super well spoken. This was super interesting to watch. I wonder if you can buy it and have it shipped to your house.. I want to try some now.
As someone who despises dark chocolate, finding out the bitter taste means it is burnt is now having me questioning everything. I'll have to order a bar from her to try it :) And the white chocolate looks so interesting! Have to try that one too!
Arlin Birkby she said, “dark chocolate isn’t supposed to be bitter, if it is bitter then they have over-roasted the beans and they are burnt.” You’re a little condescending for how wrong you are.
She explained it very well, this is real knowledge. And respect to her for doing more than fair trade to the farmers. Glad I started the day listening to this. "We have to honour it" 🍫😁
No it's not. Burnt chocolate will taste worst and much bitter. But people who never ate dark chocolate and only prefer milk chocolate will still find it bitter. Because cacao has a bitter taste. For evidence their are people in the comments section who ordered her dark chocolate and found it bitter and said they prefer the sweetness of milk chocolate. Their are variations in bitterness based if percentage of cacao. Anyone new to dark chocolate can start from 70 percent.
This is so good all the way around for everyone, it’s incredible. She produces a world class level chocolate that the rest of us can enjoy like royalty and everything done with the best intentions for everybody. I wasn’t expecting a heartwarming story, the word chocolate will pull anybody in…😊
this is the type of chocolate i'd buy, even if its expensive! it has the taste of where it came from, and not added later on. its made fair and with care for other people, this is real chocolate! i would love to try it myself sometime, great and very interesting video!
I’m happy that she is focused on supporting the cacao producers and paying them fairly through direct trade! Makes me want to buy her chocolate that much more!
I just bought 3 of their chocolate bars. Seeing how much care and effort they put into their product really makes me wonder what I've been missing out on chocolate wise. Super excited to try it out.
I love that she went into detail about the chemical reactions that take place and I ESPECIALLY love that she developed and built a processing machine to prepare the cacao in bulj but at the shop level scale
Wow! It's awesome they source directly from the farmers. it's also very interesting to see the whole process from the moment she receives the beans. Inspirational!
I love it when she is more concerned of the farmers and growers who earn so little in growing and harvesting them and never talk about how she profits from it.
I just went on her website and bought some chocolate. She made it looks so good😩I had to support her. She puts so much care and hard work into it. And huge respect for her relationships with the farmers.
I was wondering from the start, this lady is a good speaker then she mentions she is a psychologist and management consultant and I was like, boom! I knew it.
Wow, what an awesome way to do business. The focus on the farmers and making sure they get their rightful share is just amazing! And it's true there's a story behind every piece of chocolate consumed. Thank you so much for the video!
She used to be a management consultant. Even though she is doing something completely different the ability to be operationally focused and fast problem solver on the spot does not change. You can tell she has a creative gene
pocoyo wuhu this is partially true. A lot of people that come from lower socioeconomic (status) backgrounds have less opportunities than people from more affluent upbringings (Not every case obviously).
And im over here just eating them without caring how it was made untill this vid comes on my recommedation.. A lot of respect to this lady who make my fav snack..
She has a very intense process that you can tell took many years of adjusting to get where she is today. She's very passionate about her products and I'd love to try them. Amazing!

Thanks a lot for bringing such a beautiful and encaptivating story . Her passion glistens through her eyes and her words speak of the effort , care and dedication. Thanks and may God bless her in all her endeavours
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that Chocolate sometimes gets a bad rap because chocolate products can include a lot of added sugar. Sometimes, there’s even up to 50g of added sugar in one chocolate bar! For context, the World Health Organization recommends staying under 25 g (or 6 teaspoons) of added sugar per day!
That I could agree on! It could also be so that we could easily understand what she means by putting simple analogies that we could relate to! (E.g searing a steak to roasting some cocoa beans, and opening a bottle of wine to refining the choco)
The fact that she focuses on a good partnership with the farmers is the real magic.

@@solchapeau6343 what?
It’s a bean (seed) of a fruit
Cacao is a fruit, so that makes chocolate a salad
I actually screamed when I came across this. I'm so happy to see this video on the internet. Carolina is so dedicated and passionate about what she does at Exquisito. I'm from Miami and I took my best friend here for her 18th birthday and we did a tour, learned the chocolate-making process, and then decorated our own truffles. It was a beautiful experience. I also bought one of her chocolate bars (my favorite: dark chocolate with almonds). I highly recommend a visit if and when you can. ❤🤎
🤗🤗 Your support means so much Robyn!

@@fathimafarahna2633 Hi Fathima! You can find our products online on exquisitochocolates.com
Humblest flex I’ve ever seen. This lady is so incredibly impressive. Like WOWWW. She is so passionate and so educated on her craft that she knows the molecular structure of cocoa butter!! She built her own machine and then just casually throws in there that she’s a organizational psychologist! And she supports and treats the farmers with dignity and respect we have no choice but to stan.
Haha thank you so very much! We appreciate your words of support! 🤗 You can find us at exquisitochocolates.com 🍫
This lady inspired me to pursue chocolate making. Coming from a country that produces these beans primarily for export but in turn imports lots of chocolate, her voice keeps telling me to learn this and return home where I can help farmers who get paid very little from producing these beans under very harsh conditions.
Have you started ? Are you from Ghana?
I wish you all the luck!! 🙏🏽💕
You can totally tell that she truly loves making chocolate and aprecciates chocolate farmers. As a colombian, she makes me really proud 😌
@Paulo Gaitan You can be proud of your own achievements, just as you can for the achievements of others 😉
I'm simply astonished with how she makes chocolate and the relationship she has with the farmers. You can feel the magic she puts in those every piece of art called chocolate. Simply phenomenal.
She is an expert Chocolatier with a South American accent and a passion for her job. She ticked all of my boxes. I'm sold.
She really treasures that symbiotic relationship with her and the farmers. I love that.
I am a Food Engineering student in Turkey and I have to say this woman almost knows everything about cacao and the processes that are involved in chocolate making as well as our professors. Wonder if she ever had an education on food production or she is just passionate about what she does. Well, after watching the full video appereantly she just loves chocolate. It is always pleasant to see someone who is passionate about something, especially when it is their job.
Yo if she didnt love chocolate then this video will never exist and she wouldnt know everything about chocolate
Oh wait.... you Are Turkish Like me Değilmi ? :)
"Food Engineering student..." You can learn everything on youtube for free. Your professors are dipshits

Seriously that Hot Chocolate she had must of been indescribably magnificent. After tasting it, she changed her entire career and devote herself to the art of chocolate.
Truly amazing.
she had a ratatouille moment
It might have been Jean-Paul Hévin’s hot chocolate... they were famous for it, and it was unlike any other I’ve ever tasted...decadent as heck. They don’t serve it in store anymore but you can buy the mix and they have videos online explaining how to prepare it correctly.
everyone say thank you hot chocolate
That is honestly the better way to start a career than not wanting to do anything from hs, so you go to college, and decide a career cause you liked the teacher, and soon realize you dont like the rest of the classes/job.

Damn this is a great video! Lots of science and knowledge and love of labor behind the scenes. I also respect how she keeps everything in the community with giving back to the farmers who do lots of hard work. I saw another video where people had to do all the hard work on the beans but saw how she already purchased the beans pre prepped but now I see how she got them so it makes sense that she gives back to the farmers. It's all a hard work of team effort with everyone putting in their two cents and working together. This is a very positive and educational fun video and I totally dig it! A++++ Thumbs Up! and lots of props and respect to this company and friends and family. This should be on Discovery + or something like that.
This was actually very entertaining and informative. She’s very knowledgeable and I’m very impressed and curious about her. She needs to write a book or something. I’d love to try some chocolate specifically made by her hands. I bet it’s so good . Well this definitely made me a subscriber to this channel!

As someone who despises dark chocolate, finding out the bitter taste means it is burnt is now having me questioning everything. I'll have to order a bar from her to try it :)
And the white chocolate looks so interesting! Have to try that one too!
^
Chopped onions it tastes bitter change my mind
I prefer spaghetti
Arlin Birkby she said, “dark chocolate isn’t supposed to be bitter, if it is bitter then they have over-roasted the beans and they are burnt.” You’re a little condescending for how wrong you are.
Arlin Birkby did you not just read what I had quoted? It’s not SUPPOSED TO BE THAT BITTER.
I would love to buy her chocolate esp if it benefits the farmers.

She explained it very well, this is real knowledge. And respect to her for doing more than fair trade to the farmers.
Glad I started the day listening to this.
"We have to honour it" 🍫😁
That "above fair trade price" is an overhead and it gets added to the price of the bar. I bet they don't come cheap
@@KumarKaneswaran-KumarKanes yes but you're paying the makers and the farmers, not a millionaire big shot ripping off other ppl

Really love how she's had to research/test/adapt to find the proper machinery to get the process and result she wanted. Congrats!
"when dark chocolate is bitter that means its burnt" I KNEW IT my mother owes me an apology
Lol
No it's not. Burnt chocolate will taste worst and much bitter. But people who never ate dark chocolate and only prefer milk chocolate will still find it bitter. Because cacao has a bitter taste. For evidence their are people in the comments section who ordered her dark chocolate and found it bitter and said they prefer the sweetness of milk chocolate. Their are variations in bitterness based if percentage of cacao. Anyone new to dark chocolate can start from 70 percent.
Indeed
@@feroze2887 they're talking about basic ass Hershey or Lindt or whatever.

This is so good all the way around for everyone, it’s incredible. She produces a world class level chocolate that the rest of us can enjoy like royalty and everything done with the best intentions for everybody. I wasn’t expecting a heartwarming story, the word chocolate will pull anybody in…😊
this is the type of chocolate i'd buy, even if its expensive! it has the taste of where it came from, and not added later on. its made fair and with care for other people, this is real chocolate! i would love to try it myself sometime, great and very interesting video!
I’m happy that she is focused on supporting the cacao producers and paying them fairly through direct trade! Makes me want to buy her chocolate that much more!

Wow! It's awesome they source directly from the farmers.
it's also very interesting to see the whole process from the moment she receives the beans. Inspirational!
The term "master" was used very accurately here.
I love it when she is more concerned of the farmers and growers who earn so little in growing and harvesting them and never talk about how she profits from it.
She's really professional and you know that the chocolate is going to be purrfect .

When she said the chocolate tastes like oranges because they grow near oranges..
I seriously want a chocolate orange
i tried a chocolate that taste like orange before, its rly good (to me)
How bout chocolate that grows near marijuana plants hmmm?
Also the coffee beans from Guatemala when you roast, grind and brew them have the acidity and some of the flavours of oranges.
There's chocolate orange flavored actually
Kinda sounds gross to me

She used to be a management consultant. Even though she is doing something completely different the ability to be operationally focused and fast problem solver on the spot does not change. You can tell she has a creative gene

OMG. Never took my eyes off this one. The passion for chocolate was enthralling.
Employees everyday challenge:
"Try not to lick your gloves"
Last to lick the chocolate off their gloves gets $100,000
Easy, just eat tons of chocolate a few hours before the challenge so you get sick of chocolate.
Well it was her own gloves and noone else ever used them before and even after her. She is smart enough to discard them..:)

Just wow. This lady is not only incredible at what she does but is a wonderful storyteller. Bravo.
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that Chocolate sometimes gets a bad rap because chocolate products can include a lot of added sugar. Sometimes, there’s even up to 50g of added sugar in one chocolate bar! For context, the World Health Organization recommends staying under 25 g (or 6 teaspoons) of added sugar per day!
Marketing technique huh
i like how she makes constant comparison to other things like steak and nuts. You know she knows her stuff very well in and our of chocolate making.
That I could agree on! It could also be so that we could easily understand what she means by putting simple analogies that we could relate to! (E.g searing a steak to roasting some cocoa beans, and opening a bottle of wine to refining the choco)
