Welcome to the Callebaut Chocolate Academy™ South Africa in Johannesburg, proudly the first Chocolate Academy to open on the African continent.
Since launching in 2018, we empower chocolate artisans, pastry chefs, confectioners, bakers, caterers and lecturers at every stage of their business and career journey. Through in-person, expert-led courses, professionals build confidence in working with chocolate, refine their taste, and stay aligned with the latest industry trends.
Specialised courses led by guest chefs from around the world bring fresh inspiration, offering the opportunity to explore a wide variety of innovative techniques and applications, from moulding and enrobing to sculpting and decoration.
Supported by a dedicated team of Chocolate Academy chefs, the experience is enriched through technical guidance, inspirational recipes, digital resources and collaborative sessions designed to elevate craftsmanship.
