Today we’d like to introduce you to Sander Wolf.
Sander, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
The whole idea for the Dallas Chocolate Festival came about when I became interested in bean to bar chocolate and wanted to share my adventure with friends and foodies alike. Since 2009 I have made it my mission to educate people about the artistry and craftsmanship involved in making quality chocolate products.
My work has taken me to food and chocolate shows around the country and into more chocolate shops than I can count. I’ve poured my knowledge into the Dallas Chocolate Festival: bringing together the finest craftsman in the industry, local folks just starting out, and chocolate enthusiasts from across North Texas.
Has it been a smooth road?
Putting on a Chocolate Festival is a big and expensive event. It requires a good team and a year-round search for vendors and artisans.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Dallas Chocolate Festival – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
DallasChocolate.org was started in June of 2009, with the goal of promoting artisan chocolate in Dallas. Founder Sander Wolf wanted to educate budding foodies about the complex processes and hand-crafted skill that result in a refined chocolate experience. In addition to sharing local and global chocolate news, and sampling whenever we can, DallasChocolate.org hosts its signature event, The Dallas Chocolate Festival, every autumn.
What started in 2009 as a simple event featuring two bean-to-bar chocolate makers has exploded into one of the “must do” events for Dallas foodies. Featuring chocolate samples from industry innovators the world over, the event now features dozens of chocolatiers and chocolate makers, demonstrations, and even workshops.
DallasChocolate.org is dedicated to promoting local chocolate artisans and continually educating chocolate lovers about the dynamic, innovative, and delicious world of artisan chocolate.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
