A Master's Journey from Madison to Europe's Finest Chocolate Houses

Christopher Curtin's path to becoming a Master Chocolatier began with an extraordinary journey from Madison, Wisconsin, to the prestigious House of le Compagnons du Devoir in France—home to Europe's premier guild of pastry chefs and artisans.

Working alongside Europe's most accomplished journeyman pastry chefs, Christopher achieved a historic milestone: becoming the first American ever awarded the honor of German Pastry Chef and Chocolatier in Cologne, Germany.

Secrets from the World's Greatest Chocolate Masters

Christopher's quest for perfection led him to the world's most revered chocolate houses across Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Japan. In these hallowed workshops, he gained access to closely guarded techniques and artisanal secrets passed down through generations of master chocolatiers.

These time-honored methods and insider knowledge form the foundation of every Éclat Chocolate creation, ensuring each piece delivers an unforgettable experience that distinguishes our chocolates from all others.
