good things have been happening it’s hard to keep up!
First, welcome to the new factory in Emeryville! We are just down the street from our friends a Pixar and the HQ of Peet’s Coffee.
We moved into a bigger factory last fall (which also happened to be in the middle of a major construction zone-see pic at right) which made the crazy holiday season a bit more manageable. The picture below shows the completed version of the project-much better!
We now have a separate room (aka the chocolate cave) dedicated to the molded chocolate production featuring the ever temperamental tempering machine nicknamed “Johnny Drama.” Lots of room for the machines and racks and shelves and a very large work table.
Plus a viewing window where we kept up to date on the construction that went on right outside the front door all winter and spring. Whew-are we glad that is done!!
Chef Dennis made the decision to go with induction burners so no stove giving off heat in the main work room. A very cool improvement, indeed. And plenty of room for boxing and packaging and moving around. We even took time to brighten the place up by painting a few of the walls in “Refreshing Mimosa” which looks great!
