The mission of Schakolad Chocolate Factory is to create the finest and freshest chocolates by making them on premises using the finest raw materials. Schakolad customers will always receive a superior product that when enjoyed will produce a sensational feeling, and should agree that it is the best chocolate they have ever tasted. We wish to make Schakolad Chocolate Factory the premier chocolate maker in the U.S. and international markets.
With more than 40 years of combined experience in the chocolate industry, Baruch Schaked, co-founder of Schakolad Chocolate Factory and his son Edgar, will teach you the art of chocolate confectionery. Your training in production will range from simple chocolate shapes to the most delicious truffles you have ever tasted. We will guide you through the process step by step until you are able to prepare the products yourself.
Schakolad (pronounced shaq-oh-LAD) - a combination of "Schaked" and "Chocolate" - is a name associated with three generations of chocolate making. Baruch Schaked, co-founder of Schakolad, has been a chocolate maker since 1969. He began his career as a chocolatier in Argentina while working for his father-in-law, Gustavo Bar, who was the owner of one of South America`s largest chocolate factories.
Mr. Schaked traveled extensively throughout Europe to participate in courses and seminars at prestigious schools where he mastered the art of chocolate making. His education and passion paid off in the form of numerous first place awards for his scrumptious, handmade truffles at the world-renown Fontainebleau Chocolate Festival.
And, that is just the beginning of the story.
The Schaked`s chocolate adventure really got started when Baruch Schaked announced that he was selling his chocolate shop in South Florida in order to retire. His son, Edgar, determined to keep the family`s passion alive, scrapped his engineering career to continue the family legacy. In 1995, the first Schakolad Chocolate Factory opened in Winter Park, Florida. In 1999, Schakolad began franchising their unique system, creating national and international awareness as the producers of fine quality chocolates using only the highest quality ingredients.
Although recognition is spreading, Schakolad is determined to stay true to the nostalgia and personal service of the corner family owned chocolateria by making their chocolates fresh, on premises, at each location.
