Zest Kitchen Tour!

I would like to introduce everyone to the Zest Chocolat Kitchen! It has taken us a few months to get this kitchen together and then inspected, but it is finally done! This is where all the chocolate magic happens!


Below are just some of the many ingredients that are used. Among them are cinnamon, cayenne pepper, vinegar, chocolate sprinkles, chai mix, coconut...etc.


Below are a variety of moulds that are used for the chocolate ganache before they are dipped in chocolate.


This is my beloved 3-bay sink that I spent waay too much time searching for. It is probably the heaviest thing in the chocolate kitchen.


The Zest Chocolat banner hangs on one of the kitchen walls. This was created for a wedding event, but now resides in the kitchen until it has other places to be.


Scales, enough said....


Just a fun picture of the clean floor and one of our rolling stainless steel counters. So handy!


The beloved double boilers. This is really where all the chocolate magic happens. We don't have fancy equipment to melt and temper our chocolate, so it all happens by hand on this double boiler.


And this concludes the tour of our simple, yet very loved chocolate kitchen. We are so happy to finally have it inspected so that we can start selling wholesale. Look for us coming to downtown locations like The Artful Dodger and Court Square Coffee.
