Frank Haasnoot wins Dutch Chocolate Masters

As part of the competition, each participant created a large chocolate sculpture that conveyed the theme of this year’s competition – “Cocoa, Quetzalcoatl’s Gift” –inspired by the ancient Aztec legend surrounding the origins of cocoa in South America. They also showcased their skills by creating two types of pralines, pastry and a plated dessert.

The three contestants have performed impressively, given the very limited time available. Frank’s high quality creations have emerged through the combination of creativity, craftsmanship and neat way of working. Daniel Jongsma was the runner up and the third place went to Rene Huisman.

Dobla is extremely proud to have the Dutch Chocolate Master Chef working for us and we support him in his challenge to become the world’s number 1!

Frank Haasnoot, the corporate pastry chef of Dobla, is the new 'Dutch Chocolate Master 2010/2011'. He will represent The Netherlands during the “World ChocolateMasters 2011” finals in Paris.
