A shelf-life system to manage chocolate production and sales

‘The Chocolatier’s Kitchen’ introduces an easy-to-use shelf life system made to serve chocolatiers who consider expanding their business through online sales or scaling up – while maintaining the high quality of artisanal products.

It divides recipes for confectionery products into short (2 weeks) to medium (8 weeks) and longer (6 months) shelf lives. This shelf-life system allows chocolatiers to vary their offering to offer ultimate freshness and high-quality products that remain enjoyable, even after 6 months. 

‘Every starter struggles with estimating the turnaround of their offer versus the products’ shelf life. By balancing the assortment between fresh products and high-quality long-shelf-life products, starters can plan their production and sales better.’

Minette Smith – Callebaut’s Creative Lead Chef

Long shelf life products help tap into new opportunities

Today, more artisan chocolatiers consider exporting their products overseas or start an international ecommerce business. Depending on shipping times and rotation in overseas selling points, you may consider making products that still taste great when they arrive at your customer. 

A great resource of inspiration to cover planned purchases and boost impulse buying

Where an offer of fine bonbons guarantees regular traffic to a shop, consumers are often charmed and seduced by side offers such as dragées, bars and spreads. 

What’s more: The Chocolatier’s Kitchen offers recipes to keep up sales during the hotter season by introducing gelato and exquisite gelato-in-jar-desserts with a long shelf life. On top, the book inspires with recipes using Callebaut’s 5 different colours of chocolate and an avalanche of appealing pairings, shapes and bonbon presentations.

A first book in a series of 2

The Chocolatier’s Kitchen’ is the first book in a duology supporting starting and growing businesses. A second book ‘The Chocolatier’s Shop’ is planned to release in 2023. Both books will be made available separately yet can later also be bought together in a bundled box titled ‘The Chocolatier’s Toolbox’.
