Cocoa to Chocolate Design

John has spent nearly his entire career spanning cocoa to chocolate design, manufacturing and scale-up with the global leader in confectionery. He continues this interest in several relevant aspects of production – energy utilization/sustainability, product quality, efficiency, product innovation, flavor impact/development as well as education on these topics. Kaiser can convert raw beans to finished product with his current capability with virtually any process option, using commercial grade equipment with known scaleability.
