Description

Amanda Serrato Production Team Amanda comes to TCHO with tremendous chocolate experience, having worked at Joseph Schmidt Confections for 19 years. At Schmidt she supervised the chocolate moulding line as well as the decoration and packaging preparation. In her free time, she loves to read chocolate and food magazines while hanging out with her wonderful puppies Hennessy and Remy, both Yorkshire terriers. Brad Kintzer Chief Chocolate Maker Brad's passion for chocolate began when he encountered his first cacao tree on a field trip to the Montreal Botanical Garden while studying botany at the University of Vermont. Immediately determined to learn all aspects of the chocolate making process, Kintzer spent months working on cacao plantations throughout Latin America, learning firsthand the crucial agricultural and post-harvest processes that influence chocolate flavor. Continuing his quest for chocolate knowledge, Kintzer began product development work with pioneer artisan chocolate producer Scharffen Berger Chocolate Maker, in 2003. Following the 2005 acquisition of Scharffen Berger by Hershey’s, Kintzer’s product development responsibilities expanded to include Joseph Schmidt Confections and Dagoba Organic Chocolate. In addition, Kintzer has worked with other fine chocolate industry leaders including Lake Champlain Chocolates, Michael Recchuiti Confections and others. As part of the dynamic team at TCHO, Brad continues to focus on making world-class, delicious chocolates that showcase the diversity and complexity of cacao.
