Chocolatiers, chefs and gastronomes around the world revere Bernard Callebaut, the man behind the renowned Master Chocolatier. He’s brought worldwide recognition to the craft and was the first North American to win the honour of “l’Ordre Internationale de la Gastronomie Francaise”, a recognition by the French Government for outstanding contribution to the culinary arts. The secret to great chocolate? It starts with the selection of premium ingredients. Bernard carefully selects every ingredient he uses in his chocolates, never compromising. He understands that no matter how talented you are as an artist, it won’t matter if you don’t give yourself the right foundation. Master Chocolat is one of Calgary’s favourite chocolate boutiques and was the recipient for the “Best Chocolate Boutique” award at Calgary’s 2013 Top Choice Awards.
