Chuao Chocolatier |
Chuao
Chocolatier (pronounced chew-WOW), San Diego's premier artisan
chocolatier, was founded by Master Chef Michael Antonorsi and CEO
Richard Antonorsi. On a mission to "arouse your senses with
uniquely delicious chocolate experiences," Chef Michael has
pioneered fusion chocolate with his balance of responsibly sourced
cacao, all natural ingredients and endless creativity. His
confections are loved by chocoholics around the world and have been
praised by Time Magazine, Chef Bobby Flay, the Today Show, Good
Morning America, the Food Network's Pat & Gina Neely and more.
Although their ancestors were cacao-farmers, the brothers haven't always made chocolate. In their thirties, Michael and Richard left behind successful high tech careers in Venezuela, their homeland, to pursue a dream. Michael's passion for food led him to Paris, where he trained as a French Chef at École Supérieure de Cuisine Française Ferrandi in Paris and completing specialized training in Pastry and Chocolaterie at the École LeNôtre. In 2002 the Antonorsi brothers, both UCSD graduates, met up in San Diego to launch Chuao Chocolatier, an artisan chocolate café in the Lumberyard in Encinitas. The company has since grown from its original location to include chocolate cafes in UTC and Del Mar Highlands and a presence in select specialty and gourmet retailers nationwide. |
