A chocolate maker. Whereas the chocolatier doesn’t make chocolate the chocolate maker doesn’t focus on bonbons/ pralines/ etc. but more on the making of the actual chocolate, starting with the beans, till the chocolate tablets. In essence a CHOCOLATIER/ CHOCOLATE-MAKER in the same sentence is possible, but most of the time they’re just 2 different professions, asking for different skills , knowledge and equipment.
We stared out as CHOCOLATIERS, but our search for the why ,the where and the how chocolate was made and invented, drove us to the CHOCOLATE-MAKING part of the story.
Though we’re still pretty damn great chocolatiers too I must say.
