Chocolate is one of the world’s most beloved and popular desserts, made from cocoa beans. Its creation is a complex yet captivating process that combines centuries-old traditions, modern technologies, and the refined craftsmanship of chocolatiers.

During your visit to the 13beans craft workshop in Kyiv, you will be introduced to the full bean-to-bar chocolate production cycle. It begins with the direct sourcing of cocoa beans from Latin American countries and includes all key stages: sorting, roasting, grinding, separation, mixing with sugar, moulding products, and packaging

The company’s founder will speak about the intricacies of the chocolate craft, as well as the history of the enterprise since its founding in 2015. Today, 13beans has achieved stable growth both in product quality and production volume. The company’s products are available in over 120 hospitality industry establishments, as well as in leading niche retail chains, including GoodWine and Cheese Kingdom. In 2023, the enterprise successfully expanded its operations by launching a confectionery facility specialising in American-style pastries and cookies, as well as a line of functional nutritional bars with pharmaceutical properties aimed at supporting a healthy lifestyle.

The highlight of the event will be a hands-on workshop where you will create a chocolate bar by your own recipe, adding nuts, dried fruit, spices, or berries to suit your taste. You will also enjoy a tasting session featuring a variety of artisan chocolate products.
