By Beryl Dalton


We all have our own set of likes and dislikes. What may appeal great to one can be unattractice to another. Passion to foods is one of the most prolific likes of all time. This is exactly why we get the chance to enjoy great quality cuisines all over the world. People who love the art of cooking have devoted enough time to learn the craft and make it available to everyone.

With its popularity, you should not be surprised to see people who are extremely knowledgeable about the craft. Some call them chocolate afficionados. In the industry, we call them as chocolate expert. Their expertise is not only limited to vast information but also to the application of what they learn.

Anyone can claim to be an expert. But those who have shown something worthy to the public and whose works are validated by different personalities are the ones that are truly recognized as experts. They are all unique and may have a different full time job apart from dealing with chocolates. But they sure share some similar qualities that you should also have before you can work your way up to becoming an expert.

Love for chocolate. There is no substitute to this. If you do not like the product, then forget becoming an expert. Only those who show real passion and profound interest can surpass the tests and challenges that they will encounter along the way.

Curious mind. Also, experts are curious. They do not easily settle for a superficial answers about their questions. For instance, if they cannot find a concrete answer on what is the basic ingredient of a particular delicacy, they will do the search by themselves until they arrive at a definite answer. This curiousity may not just limit to chocolates alone.

Interest in making people know. They are not self centered. Yes, they do what they enjoy, but this does not stop them from tapping other people who can help them in their endeavor. Also, they show eagerness in letting other people know about their recent discoveries. Some of them start their own blog or write articles for local newspapers in order to spread their discovery.

Interest in travel. Also, they like to be out. Some of them do have full time day jobs that kept them from traveling a lot in different places, but they all agree that going somewhere different is important. Of course, they do not miss to taste the chocolates in the area that the visit. They consider their trips as part of the learning process.

Well informed. More importantly, they are always informed of the latest developments concerning about their field. They read blogs, news and any source they can get a hold of. They do not slack. They value information and does not hesitate to incorporate what they learned to the project that they are doing right now.
