more* chocolatier

Welcome! Bienvenidos! Welkom!
Hello! My name is Liliana,
I am a Colombian chocolatier who has lived in The Netherlands since 2021.
I come from a beautiful land called Colombia, in the north of South America,
birthplace of Theobroma Cacao, the magical tree
that produces the raw material for your favorite treat:
CHOCOLATE.

I work with Colombian chocolate *Fine Cacao with Flavor and Aroma*,
which means really good chocolate!
>>> only less than 10% of the world's cacao has that label <<<
That's how I pay tribute to my origin: with taste, quality and love for what I do and so,
to be able to transfer quality of life and opportunities in my land.
Because in our reality, with good chocolate we can build a better future.

Curious to taste the magic?
While our recipes are ready for you,
you can also Join us for a Chocolate Tasting, 
a delicious, immersive experience for all five senses.

​Cozy Chocolat
PURE COLOMBIAN CACAO POW(D)ER

After many years as a leading advocate for hot chocolate made with single-origin cacao paste, my body has changed with age, and I need to be mindful of my diet. 

Cacao Powder has been our favorite brownie ingredient for decades; low in fat, it has now become my go-to choice for starting the day with a cup of love. 

What's truly important? That the cacao comes from a reliable source in Colombia. 

Every cup of Cozy Chocolat makes you happy, but it also brings joy to an entire value chain, positively impacting the lives of cocoa farmers, processors, and chocolatiers.

​Chocolate Tastings
Chocolate makes you happy, but what is chocolate?

Before becoming a chocolatier, Liliana was a teacher, so becoming a chocolate educator was a natural process.

Since 2016, she has been conducting tastings both online and in person, for corporate events and in open spaces.

The Tasting is an experience for the 5 senses, a story as full of good news as the Cacao Value Chain in Colombia, surrounded by delicious chocolates and good mood.
In the mood for FINE chocolate
My journey with chocolate began as a child, next to my mom (my favorite pastry chef!) 

Then, after graduating from Fine Arts, I encouraged my family to brand our homemade sweets 
in a small and beautiful Chocolatería Moré (2008, Medellín), 
and then in VILLA CACAO (2019, Villa de Leyva).

While searching for a chocolate school, I found Ecole Chocolat in 2011, 
and thanks to them, I learned more than just recipes.
I travelled with their Master Program to Belgium
and discovered that the most incredible cacao was right there, 
next to me, in Colombia!

Then and thanks to the Cacao Cluster from Antioquia, my region,
I had the privilege to work hand in hand with Chocolate Makers and Cacao Farmers
to develop our own chocolate
(winning first place in a contest at Chocoshow, our Colombian fair, in 2018)


Now, in The Netherlands, 
I continue this journey, to share 
Colombia's finest cacao and its beautiful story with you.
... Looking for recipes I found myself diving into this amazing cacao value chain, 
what a journey, what a pleasure,.
It grows and changes every season,
same old same but at the same time: new every day...

SO, WHAT IS WHAT?

So, what is *Fine Cacao of Flavour and Aroma*?

The International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) is an inter-governmental organization established in 1973 under the auspices of the United Nations and operating within the framework of successive International Cocoa Agreements.

"Fine flavour cocoa is cocoa characterized by a complex sensory profile, composed of well-balanced basic attributes with aromatic and flavour notes; the complementary attributes can be clearly perceived and identified in the expression of its aromas and flavours; it results from the interaction between (a) a particular genetic composition, (b) favourable growing conditions in a given environment/terroir, (c) specific plantation management techniques, (d) specific harvesting and post-harvest practices and (e) stable chemical and physical composition, and integrity of the bean."

And, what is Chocolate?

The Fine Chocolate Industry Association (FCIA) is the only organization focused 100% on supporting fine chocolate professionals.

"Chocolate is a food made with roasted and refined cacao beans with sugar and other ingredients. In all cases, a chocolate must contain the fat of the cacao, known as cacao butter. For example, if it contains cacao powder, but no cacao butter, it should not be called chocolate but chocolate flavored. If it only contains cacao mass, but no sugar, it should be called 100% cacao rather than chocolate. There are plenty of types of chocolate and it can be solid or liquid, but all of them share a common principle: they must contain the fat of the cacao bean."
