These are lessons where we chat over Zoom. No kitchen work involved.

2) Guided Hands-on Lesson

Any lesson (tasting, bean-to-bar making, tempering, ganache making) can be turned into a hands-on lesson where I guide you as you work in your kitchen.

 
 

I highly recommend choosing hands-on for tempering lessons if you can.

 
 

 
 

General Lesson FAQ

+ Cost & Payment Method

All lessons workout to $30 per 30 minutes. Some lessons can be 30 minutes in duration, while others have a minimum starting time of 1 hour or 90 minutes.

I keep my costs at a fair price compared to other online schools or instructions. The reason? My ultimate goal has always been to help others with quality instruction. Quality education should be encompasing, not limiting.

When you book you will be prompted to pay. You can pay using your credit card, Paypal, or Apple Pay.

If you have a voucher code, please enter it in the booking form.


+ What are the different levels

Use the filter below to check levels.

Level 1 - These cater to beginners. These are usually fundamental courses that you will need to master before moving on to other levels.

Level 2 - These lesson require you to know one or more level one skills to accomplish such as knowing how to temper well.

Level 3 - These lessons are more advanced, and bring together multiple skills together in order to complete.

If you are unsure about your skill level, feel free to contact me and ask, or fill out the free consultation form.


+ I don't see a lesson for a specific product I want to create.

My lessons focus mostly on skills rather than creating something very specific. For instance, it doesn't matter if you wish to cast two round half spheres to make a "hot chocolate bomb", cast half egg molds to make an easter egg, or cast a Christmas tree mold. The techniques are essentially all the same.

The purpose of my lessons is to equip you to understand how to work with chocolate and be more confident doing so.

If you do have a specific object or product you wish to create, and unsure if I can help, I probably can. Feel free to contact me and ask, or email me images of what you wish to create at info@beantobarworld.com as I'm more than happy to hear your requests!


+ Will I require special equipment? Ingredients? Supplies?

If you are choosing a guided Q&A, then all you need is a notepad and pen to take notes.

If you are booking a guided hands-on lesson, then you will check off when you book which tools you already have, and I will look that over and let you know what else you need before the lesson.

If you need time to gather equipment for your lesson then we can postpone the date if need be.


+ How Long Are The Lessons?

It depends on the lessons. All lessons start at 30 minutes unless otherwise noted. For instance, when you go to book it may state "starting at 1 hour", which means the booking starts at 1 hour, and you have the option to add more time if you wish. You can always add on more time as well.


+ How Do I Know How Much Time To Book?

Some lessons have a minimum duration (such as 1.5 hours), with the option to add more time in 30 minute increments.

The lessons also have suggested time, especially if it is a more open-ended tutoring session.

If you are still unsure, please contact me and I will let you know how long to book!


+ What Are Your Qualifications?

I am a professional master chocolatier by trade, professional chocolate sommelier, and bean-to-bar chocolate maker. I have been working in the fine chocolate industry since 2008, including many years of instruction, public classes, training other chefs (including graduates of prestigious pastry schools), private tutoring, tours, public events, and more. I love helping others hone-in on their chocolate skills.

To learn more about me, read more here. You can see some of the work here, and some media write-ups here.


+ Who Are These Lessons Intended For?

Anyone! Perfect for beginners who need some live instructions: the next best thing to one-on-one in person lessons.

They also work for budding professionals looking to improve their skills, or great if you're a home-chef simply wanting to learn fun and exciting chocolate skills.

The lessons are catered to your level of expertise and goals.


+ Can I change the date or time of my booking?

Yes, no problem. If you give me around 24 hours notice, then it should be no issue. I can book you in on the next available slot. It may be the same day, or it may be a different day depending on my schedule. Always offer me a few days/times when rebooking in the order you prefer.

If it is less than 24 hours or too last minute, you may not be able to reschedule, and would have to re-book another lesson.


+ What Language Do You Instruct In?

I instruct in English. If English isn't your first language, that's okay. I have taught many people online or in person who are at an intermediate level of English proficiency. I have a background teaching and interacting with many people who are not fluent in English, so I don't mind at all if your English is not fluent.

I am happy to help you, but be aware that we will need to be able to understand each other, otherwise it will be difficult to converse.

If your English isn’t strong enough yet to understand the teaching instruction, feel free to invite a friend or family member who can be there to help translate. Just keep in mind that this will lengthen the duration of the lesson, but I am happy to accommodate if I can.

If you are unsure, you can always just book a 30 minute session to go over details and questions, and see how comfortable you are learning in English. Or you can contact me if you are still unsure.

I am always impressed by the care that geoseph takes in wrapping the bars for shipping.
The bars are always carefully wrapped ans padded. This may seem like an obvious thing to do but other suppliers are not as conscientious.

What a fantastic experience with Bean to Bar World! Amazing online curation of delicious chocolate bars, came packaged very well with a thoughtful personalized note which I appreciated very much. One of the bars I wanted was sold out and Geoseph was super communicative and very kind, not to mention clearly extremely knowledgeable and passionate. Absolutely this is the kind of business I want to keep supporting, I will be back!

This was one of the most fun virtual team building events I think I've ever attended (and since covid we've done quite a few). It was interesting, surprising, sparked a lot of good conversation among the group, and I now understand a whole lot more about single-source and bean-to-bar chocolates than I did before. We had a group of 35 very very diverse people and everyone said what a great time they had. Highly recommended.

My friend and I booked a chocolate and tea tasting with Geoseph and we had a wonderful time. We enjoyed learning more about the chocolate making process and of course loved trying the different chocolate and tea combinations. I highly recommend booking a chocolate tasting! It is such a unique and fun experience.

I recently received my order, always an exciting moment. The bars are always carefully packed so they usually arrive in perfect condition.
When l was ordering from other suppliers l was sure to get bars that were very disappointing. Not so with Geoseph. He is more then just knowledgeable, he seems to be able to remember details of every bar he sells. Once you learn to ask the right questions his advice is always good. No more disappointments.
Also by the time you have eaten your way through your order he has brought in enough new bars to fill another order. Eating chocolate has never been so good.
A very happy customer.

My team a great time at this virtual chocolate tasting. The facilitator was fantastic, sharing his knowledge and passion about chocolate. He walked us through its history, broke down the science behind each flavor, and made the whole experience fun and interactive.

What really stood out was how he got everyone chatting and thinking about what we were tasting. It wasn’t just about eating chocolate — it was about truly appreciating it. We learned a ton, had some great conversations, and, of course, enjoyed some incredible chocolate. Highly recommend!

My job had a virtual chocolate tasting as a fundraiser and it went wonderfully! The variety of chocolates sent were unique and the explanations from Geoseph about where each chocolate came from and the differences between them were so interesting! it taught me so much I didn't know about the history and process of chocolate and I now will be searching for Ecuadorian chocolate over others because of what I tasted!

I recently took Geoseph's Chocolate Tasting Lesson virtually, and it exceeded all expectations! Despite being an online experience, it felt incredibly engaging and personal. Geoseph’s expertise truly shone through as he guided us through the tasting, offering insightful details about the origins, textures, and flavors of each chocolate. The virtual format didn’t take away from the experience at all—Geoseph made sure we felt connected and involved, encouraging us to share our thoughts and ask questions throughout the session.

The chocolates we received beforehand were of the highest quality, and the tasting was well-paced, allowing plenty of time to savor each one. Geoseph’s passion for chocolate was contagious, and I loved learning about the different tasting techniques, as well as discovering how subtle variations in flavor can make all the difference.

I was surprised by how much I learned and how fun the experience was, even from the comfort of my own home. If you're looking for a unique and enjoyable virtual activity, I highly recommend Geoseph’s Chocolate Tasting Lesson. It’s an experience that makes you look at chocolate in a whole new way!

I love dark chocolate and have tasted bars from chocolate beans grown all over the world. I came upon Allo Chocolat 82 at a craft show and instantly became a huge fan. One of the best chocolate bars I have ever tasted. And available from a business in my own city, Bean to Bar World. Service was great and I will become a repeat customer.

The world of dark chocolate bars, even the pure dark chocolate bars that I have enjoyed for some 25 years, is vast. Most countries within 20 degrees north and south of the Equator grow cacao, and practically all countries make and sell dark chocolate bars from that cacao. With the low barrier to starting a single-origin or bean-to-bar chocolate company, and the growing interest globally in doing so, gatekeepers or tastemakers like Geoseph Domenichiello are essential for discerning customers. His selection and curation of the best and most interesting bars are exemplary and endlessly fascinating, and his service is superb, even when shipped across a border. Until I have the opportunity and privilege of visiting his shop up north, this note will have to serve as my compliment on his excellent work in a very specialized field.

I had an amazing experience at the 10-piece chocolate tasting with Bean To Bar World, led by Geoseph. The session was incredibly educational, fun, and informative, offering a deep dive into the world of fine chocolate. Geoseph was a fantastic host—not only was he knowledgeable and passionate, but he was also super considerate and went out of his way to accommodate our needs. His engaging teaching style made the experience even more enjoyable, and I walked away with a much greater appreciation for bean-to-bar chocolate. The variety of chocolates we tasted was exceptional, and the session was well-structured, allowing us to truly understand the flavors, origins, and craftsmanship behind each piece. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in chocolate!
