Penn State Chocolate Short Course
Rodney A. Erickson Food Science Building, Penn State University Park Campus
A Bean-to-Bar course for both craft and industrial chocolate manufacturers. During this 5-day course, successful craft chocolate entrepreneurs, equipment manufacturers, and Penn State faculty will instruct you in the theory and practice of chocolate production from the selection of raw materials through the marketing of finished product. Of value to those with both technical and non-technical duties, attendees will engage mind and hands to gain detailed knowledge of chocolate processing.
The course emphasizes interactive learning through the integration of classroom discussions and hands-on exercises in the pilot plant and Berkey Creamery. Breaks and lunches encourage further discussion with the Penn State and industry instructors, as well as fellow attendees.
