Athay's favorite thing about
working with chocolate is
the experimentation and
the satisfying process of
transforming an idea into a
physical object.
"I can't believe that this is
my job. I love learning, and
there is so much more to
chocolate than I initially
realized. From fermentation
to roasting and bean origin,
there are so many variables
that can change the taste
and texture of the product,"
Athay said.
According to Athay, the
craft movement (bean to bar) has exploded in the last 10 years, and she's
really excited to be part of a growing industry.
So next time you think about manufacturing, don't forget that the industry
includes sweet-toothed chocolate connoisseurs. Their factories are brightly
lit, white aprons tossed over chairs, edible experimentations littered across
chrome tables. Both customers and the smell of confections are welcomed to
linger. These are Connecticut's sweet shops.
