This award recognizes those whose work has had a significant impact on the world of chocolate as we experience it today. John Scharffenberger is the first American to make fine bean-to-bar chocolate in the U.S. and demystified the percentage of cacao by boldly putting it on the label, nomenclature adopted by the artisan chocolate industry. His efforts in the areas of chocolate making and innovation are indeed legendary and have positioned him to be a standout amongst other chocolate engineers.
The inaugural class of Chocolate Legends includes Sophie and Michael Coe, Ed Seguine, John Scharffenberger and Juan Carlos Motamayor, all of whom will be feted on Saturday, October 7th in front of fellow colleagues, chocolatiers, confectioners, chefs and media. Following the ceremony and induction, The Legends of Chocolate will be displayed in the Hall of Legends, being installed this fall at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE), in lower Manhattan. At the presentation, John Scharffenberger will be introduced by esteemed author, foodie and environmentalist, John Kaminsky, who has traveled the world with John.
“When I started SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker, I made a commitment to crafting the world’s most authentic, high-quality and flavorful chocolates available,” says John Scharffenberger, founder of SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker. “To be recognized by my peers and colleagues as one of the first ‘Legends of Chocolate’ is humbling and while it’s not something that I set out to accomplish, it’s certainly a recognition that I am immensely proud of.”
