?? Probably rich... the guy pays struggling farmers overseas 20 cents for a pound of cocoa beans, and then sells that pound of chocolate to American lux hotels for 200 dollars. (So yeah, his family has been exploiting poor farmers for centuries and living like royalty as a result.)

I think the vendors series is so so interesting, it makes guests to restaurants understand why a certain dish may be $14 but in another restaurant its $24 - product is key

We use Guittard chocolate to make all of our products in our chocolate shop, The Chocolate Therapist, and it's absolutely the best-tasting chocolate on the planet! I've traveled all over the world to find great chocolate, and luckily for us the best is right here in the US. We also love their products because they're soy-free, which is hard to find. Thanks for making great chocolate, Guittard!!

I’m European live on the Belgium border and Guittard is seriously legit high quality chocolate. It’s top 5 at least for me as a chef with the best European chocolate at my disposal, and that’s a praise for American chocolate for real! It’s so good just very expensive over here.

I grew up in Burlingame, where the factory is, and in the morning with the wind blowing in the right direction the smell would permeate downtown. It was incredible but growing up there you take for granted the Willy Wonka smells. Awesome video

British Chef here. Reading a lot of uninformed crap on here dissing this fine marque for no other reason than they're an American business - a long established one at that. Most of you making these comments haven't a clue about products at this end of the scale. Get over yourselves. Their rep is highly renowned and recognised for producing next level chocolate and all manners of derivatives in-between.

When I saw the phrase "High-End Chocolate Factory," I was hoping it'd be Guittard. I'm very familiar with their products and love them.

I worked for Schrafft's Chocolates in Boston, MA for two summers in a row as a food chemist. I literally saw every aspect of the operation from inspection of the cocoa beans to the finished product. Yum Yum. What a delightful experience. I certainly appreciated this video of Guittard Chocolate. Brought back some amazing memories working in such a demanding operation. Never got tired of sampling the product. The factory used to produce up to 14,000 lbs. of chocolate mints during a busy production week. Schrafft's no longer exists, but the old building sign with its pink letters has become an historical landmark.

I had never stopped to think the browning of chocolate also comes from a Maillard reaction. Pretty cool stuff

I found Guittard by accident after I returned to the US from pastry school in Europe. Been using their products since 1991.

I toured their factory back in the early 2000's when I was in culinary school. Amazing place.

Those machines were so cool. It's amazing to think of what kind of specialized equipment people are capable of creating.

I always wonder how they clean the machines.

In the world of chocolate, product is key, and this factory truly understands that.

I grew up in the next town over and remember Guittard used to make a consumer candy called Flicks which came in a cardboard tube. My favorite chocolate. They disappeared for a few decades before coming back but by a different manufacturer. They were never as good and went away again.

I've used Guittard chocolate chips for baking for decades now - always fabulous to support a great local family owned company. So fun to see how the delicious magic is made!

This is THE BEST chocolate ever, and always. Guittard rules over any of the fancy French chocolates, any of the newer artisan chocolates, over any chocolate, anywhere. Guittard's cocoa, wafers, chips, all of it, is fantastic.

02:28 fact that this is done as RANDOM process (fermentation in uncontrolled temperature and humidity zone without a controlled bacteria/yeast process) is MIND BOGGLING

Not only fine dining restaurants use these products but also upper scale chocolatiers like Fran's chocolates in Seattle, Washington and See's Candies in South San Francisco and Los Angeles use them.

Really nice to see this. I have worked for more then 7 years in a cocoa factory. A lot of similarities.

Worked in one of the biggest chocolate factory in canada and my job looked very similar. Only been there for a few months but it's nice to see how it is at a different place! We made 600 tons daily

I love a nerd who cares about their business. Great video!

Thank goodness for your expertise that adds such enjoyment to life.

I used to work in the shipping department for guittard, great company and awesome chocolate perks!

If I could have one of those large slabs of chocolate, I think it just might last an evening. :)

lookin at all that chocolate suddenly makes me crave chocolate

guittard is my favorite chocolate chip!

The perfect family to be running the finest chocolate manufacturer on indigenous soil. Love it

Wonderful video for anyone interested in high-end chocolates. I am impressed by Mr. Guittard's knowledge and passion for chocolate. "...there's lots of different kinds of genetics going on. It's not just one genetic." Hidden in this comment on beans by Mr. Guittard is the secret to rapidly creating trees bearing "all natural" designer beans unlike any others on earth today. The Malaysian Cocoa Board calls them Renaissance cocoa beans.

The president of this company is so knowledgeable and passionate about his daily bread and butter!!

The greatest episode ever .thank you Nizar

Thank you #Eater and # Guittard for sharing your processes and educating us.

I heard about guittard from brad leone's video. It was so fun to watch tbb

RIGHT AT THE END… THAT REFLECTION!! IYKYK

One thing I always wondered - having heard that the fruit, the white pulp surrounding the seeds, is delicious - why don't they make candy utilizing the fruit pulp and the seeds together? Like a filled chocolate bar? That would be worth trying.

I don't know if it's still there, but I bought some cocoa fruit/pulp fruit leather at Sprouts a month ago. Tastes like a standard fruit leather (the no sugar added kind), kinda tart, with the occasional cocoa aftertaste. It's great but kind of expensive.

Interesting. So much work to make good chocolate. I love chocolate. Especially dark chocolate.
