Guittard's Pastry Chefs Donald Wressell and Josh Johnson will discuss and demonstrate different ways to celebrate the essence of flavor in desserts as well as how to use other flavors and flavor pairings to bring those flavors to life. Along with Amy Guittard, Guittard's Director of Marketing, the three will touch on the crafting process from cultivating quality cocoa at the farm and preserving flavor through partnerships with local governments all the way to designing a finished dessert -- giving attendees an appreciation for how pastry can elevate the flavor profiles generated by different origins. Guittard is the oldest continuously family-owned chocolate company in the country; they supply chocolate to confectioners, chefs, bakeries, and other foodservice providers around the country and world in addition to a variety of products for home bakers.
