THE BELGIAN CHOCOLATE MAKERS - Key Persons

Elisabetta Passafaro is our chef chocolatier. At 24 years old only, she already launched two stores, a training centre and two workshops in the heart of Brussels. She created her own chocolate brand, Chocomeli, and even her own chocolate selection using pure origin cacao from Congo and Philippines. Now she starts to expand her business outside Belgium. Our chocolate maker is graduated from Accademia Maestri Cioccolatieri Italiani. At the end of her training session, she has been awarded Master 2018 with an amazing 94/100 notation. During her studies, she traveled abroad and made an incredible, exciting and educational journey in Brazil that take her through the world of cocoa. She talked to the cocoa growers and producers, slept in the jungle, share meals with the Amazons and enjoyed some great chocolate tastings with many South American researchers. It is precisely during this experience that Elisabetta realized that chocolate was her passion and tattooed a big cocoa pod on her shoulder!
