CHOCOLATE SANTA: craftsmanship from a chocolate factory

Video Description

Chocolate Santas - From milk to dark - craftsmanship from the chocolate factory | WELT FOOD In a Swabian chocolate factory, the production of chocolate Santas starts at the beginning of October. Ulf Baum and Christopher Klett, senior and junior managers of the company, explain that the design of the Santas has become friendlier and more colorful over the years. The production includes Santas in different shapes and sizes, using milk, dark and white chocolate. These types of chocolate are delivered in liquid form and stored in large tanks. Particular attention is paid to the quality and “make-up” of the figures to emphasize details such as eyes, beard and belt buckle. Make-up is even applied by hand for custom-made products. An interesting detail is the production of the hollow chocolate figures, which is achieved by a special process in which the chocolate is distributed in molds and shaken. Despite the early production from April, mainly for overseas customers, the bosses emphasize that chocolate can be enjoyed at any time of year. Preferences for eating the chocolate Santas vary, with some preferring the head and others the foot.
