Have you always aspired to be a chocolatier?

We’re here to turn every chocolate lover’s dream into reality. Located in the heart of New Delhi, Art Chocolat strives to help budding chefs and chocolatiers find their place in India’s fast-growing chocolate industry. We go beyond the cookie cutter approach of other schools that teach a fixed set of recipes, and instead encourage our students to be artisans and creative alchemists thinking out-of-the-box and developing chocolate combinations that are original, experimental, sometimes daring, yet always perfectly harmonious in flavor. Our coursework covers the use of compounds, concentrates, essences, preservatives and additives, but at the same time, we also advocate and teach working with fresh and the local ingredients.

Learn organic versions of delicious chocolates treats, full of health benefits and without unnecessary additives.

4. Professional: As a chocolate professional, you will specialize in the making of different types of chocolate confections - from fillings such as praline, caramel and truffle, to hand decorating chocolates for festive occasions.
