Beanology™. No other word reflects our passion and obsession for the
cocoa bean better. Delicate in every way, the cocoa bean is our source of great taste. And at the
same time, it is the starting point of an extremely intense journey in which every step is crucial to
bring out the aromas and f lavours that lie hidden in the core of the
bean. From creating our notorious ‘Wieze blend’ – the blend of beans
we create for our Finest Belgian Chocolate – to whole bean roasting and conching: our Master Chocolate
Makers meticulously watch over each step to create great taste.
After all, every bean is a fruit and a gif t of nature. And every bag of
beans is dif ferent. That’s how chocolate making requires the eyes, the nose, the mouth and the hands of our Master Craftsmen. They create the magic with time, temperature, f ineness and conching parameters. They create the chocolate that is loved by so many chefs all over the world.
On their turn, chefs from all over the world bring you their take on
Beanology™: they have created recipes inspired by the dif ferent steps
in the bean-to-chocolate journey.

BACK TO 1911 Wieze (Belgium). Octaaf Callebaut inherited the passion for good taste from his grandfather, generating a numerous group of followers in the village, and far beyond. At first, Octaaf continued the family brewery. But gradually new ambitions stirred… His weak spot for sweet delights led him to Paris, where he eagerly acquired the skills of chocolate making.
Upon his return, he worked day and night in his small workshop next to the brewery. After many months of ‘experimenting’ and perfecting, finally the magic happened in his conche and the first recipe for Finest Belgian Chocolate was born. Today, more than 100 years later, each Callebaut recipe is still crafted with the same care and passion as in the early days.

GROWING GREAT CHOCOLATE ,
TOGETHER WITH COCOA FARMERS
Great chocolate demands great cocoa beans; and the quality of those beans largely depends on the passion and success of the cocoa farmers in Africa. Therefore Callebaut took a giant step in chocolate creation by converting all its Finest Belgian Chocolates to the Growing Great Chocolate programme. It provides local farmers with support and training in the sustainable growth of the best quality cocoa beans and helps improve their quality of life. Great things can go hand in hand.

FOLLOW THE COCOA ROUTE FROM THE FA RME RS
STR A IGHT TO BE LGIUM
The best cocoa beans – well- fermented and dried into
premium, golden beans by the farmers – are shipped to Belgium, the home of your Finest Belgian Chocolate. Their journey lasts several weeks and travels across
wild seas and along rugged coasts. When they finally arrive at our warehouse,
the beans are inspected one last time and quality-graded.
1312
SEVE RE SE LECTIONTH E A RT OF BE A NOLOGY ™
How is it possible that the iconic Callebaut taste has hardly changed over the decades? We owe this largely to the selection of beans by our Beanologist. He meticulously tastes, lists and documents each harvest of cocoa beans from all over the world. Together, they build our cocoa library that inspires our Master Blender.
1514
IN-HOUSE BLE NDINGOF COCOA BEANS
FOR THE BODY AND SOUL OF YOUR CHOCOLATE
Starting from the Beanologist’s selection, our Master Blender uses West African beans to create the body of each Finest Belgian Chocolate recipe. He enriches his blend with fine flavour beans from South America and Asia to add fruitiness, acidity and playful top notes.

ROASTINGTHE WHOLE BE A N
TO RE LE ASE THE WHOLE FLAVOUR
You can taste it in your chocolate: the full flavour of the cocoa bean. That’s because we’re one of the few chocolate makers that still roast the whole bean in its natural shell. This traditional roasting method awakens all the great aromas and flavours of the cocoa bean, yet preserves them to be released only in the chocolate – and not get lost before.
1918
MULTIPLE-STAGE GRINDING
TO CRE ATE TH E DA RKE ST A ND FINE ST OF COCOA LIQUORS
We never settle for “acceptable”. That’s why we grind the roasted cocoa beans several times. In the first stage, the nibs are ground into liquor. Next, the liquor is further refined in multiple steps until it is extremely fine. The result is a dark, pure and soulful cocoa liquor. Shaping the heart and soul of your chocolate, its overwhelming taste will linger on in your chocolate and create that wonderful mouthfeel your customers crave.

SE LECTING FINE INGRE DIE NTS,

Belgium tastes great. That’s why we select – as much as we can – the best sugars and milk powders from farms and suppliers in Belgium. We believe that local ingredients do justice to your Finest Belgian Chocolate.

FINE , FINE R , FINE ST.
A LL IN TH E NA M E OF YOUR CHOCOL ATE
To create the sensational, round and silky mouthfeel of your chocolate, we press and refine all ingredients until each particle is smaller than the distance between the taste buds. This epitome of fineness will overwhelm your taste buds with the whole flavour of your chocolate, instead of the separate ingredients.

IT ’S TIME TO UNR AVE L THE MYTH
OF CONCHING
Conching is the art of harmony. Our Master Concher kneads the chocolate for hours to fully ripen its taste. He takes precisely the right time to balance the taste of your chocolate: long enough to create its lovely roundness and short enough to preserve the right dash of fresh acidity. The end result is the world-renowned signature Callebaut taste, with a delicate balance between full cocoa body and fine flavours.
