Planete Chocolat's Podcast

Welcome into Planète Chocolat Workshop!   This video shows how we make our pralines in 10 steps:   The mould is filled with chocolate. The air bubbles disappear with the vibration. The excess of chocolate is taken out. The mould is put in the fridge for 20 minutes. The filling is put into the pocket. The filling could be flavoured ganache, praliné, caramel or anything else... The shells are filled with the ganache, the praliné, the caramel... The mould is put back in the fridge for another 20 minutes. The filled shells are closed with chocolate. Then, the mould is put again in the fridge for 20 minutes. The pralines are removed from the mould.     Planète Chocolat production team includes six qualified Belgian chocolate makers who work with respect for tradition while developing new ideas to combine the chocolate with new flavours, new forms… They pay particular attention to the choice of the raw materials and to the manufacture of the pralines, true miniature chocolate sculptures, thus guaranteeing the best quality of the Belgian chocolate (100% pure cocoa butter, without GMO or preservatives). Planète Chocolat also organises demonstrations to show visitors how our products are made. We welcome approximately 35,000 visitors per annum. During the demonstration, the history and the origin of the chocolate and cocoa are explained. We also explain how the pralines and the carracks are made. While the visitors attend the demonstration, they have the possibility of seeing our chocolate makers at working through our workshop’s windows.  Chocolate workshops are also organised: the participants come into the workshop to make their own pralines. Demonstrations are organised every Saturday and Sunday at 4 pm. You do not need to book to attend the demonstration. Just make sure you arrive 15 minues before its beginning to buy your tickets.
