Why choose Castelli School of Chocolate

  • Pioneering, Tradition and Innovation: Our brand carries a trajectory of over 20 years in higher education. It was conceived by Castelli School of Hospitality, a Higher Education Institution accredited by the Ministry of Education (2000–2018). Excellence, commitment and passion for hospitality education have made the name a reference and a recognized brand.
  • Approach: All content, methodologies, technologies, practices and experiences are designed to build knowledge, develop skills and shape the attitudes required of a chocolate professional. The Programs are aimed at professionals seeking improvement or career change and at enthusiasts. The Professional Program offers an innovative formative proposal, with live online classes, hands-on practical sessions in the School’s laboratories and field experiences on cocoa farms.
  • Instructors: A teaching staff made up of professionals renowned both nationally and internationally.
  • Castelli School of Chocolate Certification: As the legacy of over 20 years in higher education linked to the Ministry of Education, Castelli School of Chocolate embodies education, hospitality, professionalism, innovation, entrepreneurship and passion. Following global trends in the educational market, since 2019 the brand's positioning allows Castelli School of Chocolate Making to endorse all its programs, which are nationally recognized.
  • The dream of changing careers, starting a business or improving your chocolate skills with Castelli: Many new entrepreneurs have emerged since 2012, the year the School was founded. Proof of this are the many professionals trained by the School who today own their own chocolate brands — some already nationally and internationally awarded — or who work in the cocoa and chocolate production chain in prominent roles. Many of these stories are featured in the Brands Guide.
