We’re just going to be talking in the context of chocolate desserts
Today’s blog is for all the pastry chefs, bakery owners, restaurant owners; basically anyone who wants to make chocolate desserts that people will remember.
What does this even mean?
It means creating experiences with your chocolate desserts that make people say things like
- “Who made this?”
- “Where did you buy this from, it’s so good!”
- “Let’s order from that place again!”
So how do you create this magic? How do you get people to remember you or your brand for the desserts that you make? How do you earn their loyalty in the chocolate dessert world?
The answer lies in the CHOCOLATE you use!
You see baking a chocolate cake, muffin, or any other chocolate dessert isn't rocket science anymore. Lots of brands are doing it already and only a few leave a mark in your heart.
So what sets those few apart from the rest?
It’s their ability to create seriously good and flavourful desserts.
And how do they do this?
They use quality ingredients- one of them MOST IMPORTANTLY being using a ‘Bean-to-Bar’ chocolate.
Let’s now understand 3 reasons why bean-to-bar chocolates are so important when it comes to creating unique and memorable chocolate desserts for your customers:
- Flavors You Won’t Forget: There is a difference (a huge one) between having a chocolate pastry made from industrial or commercialized chocolate and a chocolate pastry made from a bar of bean-to-bar chocolate. The first one tastes dull and sweet, just like a million others. And, the latter just melts in your mouth, gives you a taste of multiple complex flavors, and reserves a place in your heart forever.
- Make The Chocolate of Your Dreams: Since bean-to-bar manufacturers like Pascati directly work with small cocoa farmers, we have great control when it comes to sourcing the highest quality cocoa beans. In addition to this, we’re heavily involved in the growing, harvesting, and roasting conditions of cocoa beans. This allows us to cultivate distinct flavor profiles with every batch of cocoa beans, something that cannot be replicated with industrial chocolate or cocoa.
- You Get To Tell A Story: Beyond the taste and flavors of bean-to-bar chocolates, there is also a story to tell. Each bean-to-bar chocolate is made with so much attention and care that it's hard not to create a deep connection with the consumer. The story of the farm it came from to the passion of the chocolate maker who transformed the raw cocoa to a majestic piece of chocolate, is what allows consumers to appreciate your brand even further.
That’s it, this is our secret sauce for creating flavourful and impactful desserts. And with all that being said, we do realize that this might not be everyone’s cup of tea as it does come with a higher cost.
This is solely for people who align with the vision of providing high-quality chocolate desserts/creations no matter the price. So if you’re someone who’s just getting started in this journey, why don’t you try our Single Origin 72% Kerala Dark to begin with?
