Callebaut Chocolate Week

A delightful tour!

Rio de Janeiro is about to get even tastier! This cold weather has come along with great news - Callebaut Chocolate Week!
It's the second edition of the event, but the first in Rio!

I love chocolate and it's very difficult to meet anyone who doesn't, especially when it's quality.
Okay, but tell us what Callebaut Chocolate Week is! And when will it be?

Okay, I'll explain what this Callebaut Chocolate Week is all about.

There will be 10 establishments with EXCLUSIVE recipes, mixing the flavor of Brazil with Callebaut Belgian chocolate.
But get ready, because the event will only take place from July 21 to 30 and you certainly don't want to miss out on these recipes.
Maybe if we like a recipe VERY much, the house will continue with its menu.
And from what I've seen, what's to come is promising.
During this week, we're going on a chocolate tour? I'm all for it and I've already set my favorites to start the race! Ahhhh and the best part, the prices are great.

Is it or isn't it one delight after another?
But don't you know Callebaut? Relax, I'm sure you've already eaten it and don't even know it.
Normally those wonderful sweets you eat out there are made with Callebaut. This is a well-known brand among chefs, who turn these delicacies into real clouds that dissolve in your mouth.
I tried and abused the brigadeiros made with Callebaut chocolates.

What's more, I've heard that there's a small packet that we can buy and use in homemade recipes.
Igor liked it so much that he wanted to eat it while watching a movie, lol, while I really wanted to put the chocolate drops on my brownies.

Hihihi, I cook too, you know? I may not be a chef, but I'm wrong.

Another great idea is to melt the drops in the popcorn! Nhaaammmm, amaaamoos.

Free courses

Ahhhh another great thing about Callebaut Chocolate Week! There will be several free courses during the event, just sign up at www.chocolate-academy.com 

Callebaut has won another fan, especially for its quality and responsibility.
As well as producing these delights, Callebaut has a social fund. I learned from them that 70% of the world's cocoa is produced in Africa.
And they do their best to help out there.
Whether it's farmer training, tools, materials or access to finance!
In addition to encouraging women's empowerment, which is VERY important for the region.
I don't need to say any more, do I? I loved it! And I can't wait to taste more Callebaut Chocolate Week delicacies!
