In Focus: Chocolate Maker / Chocolatier Interviews
They were a regular fixture in most issues of Chocolate Connoisseur Magazine when we used to publish monthly. Without question, our favorite part of Chocolate Connoisseur is introducing our readers to a chocolate maker or chocolatier via our exclusive interview series: In Focus.
Each In Focus interview takes our readers into a new world of chocolate, connecting them to a dedicated chocolate professional with a story to tell, and we love digging in and telling those stories with you.
Now that we no longer publish issues, we sell In Focus packages to high quality chocolate makers / chocolatiers for a very reasonable fixed price, which includes everything noted below.

If you would like us to interview you for an In Focus feature, please either call us or submit the Interview Request Form below. We’ll then reply with any preliminary questions to make sure you qualify – the higher your chocolate’s quality is, the better (think organic, direct trade, plenty of vegan options, bean-to-bar, those are all great selling points for example).
If approved, we’ll set up payment and immediately start the interview process (for starters, we’ll send you the In Focus Profile/Interview Form so you can officially begin the process).
If you have any questions you’d like answered before submitting the initial Interview Request Form, please feel free to contact us anytime via email at Er**@*********************ag.com or call us at 800-404-6977 xt.4.
