The Dobla Experience

Dobla introduces 40 new products in the Chef’s Collection at the Dobla Experience. The Dobla Innovation Center has worked, designed and created these new items in the past eighteen months. Most important features of each product are; originality, design and flavor. All of this has been accomplished so that the decorations are still economical for daily usage in pastry kitchens all around the world. It goes without saying that a lot of time has been invested in creating superior packaging to avoid any breakage.

All products in the Dobla Collection have the same high quality standards with regards to ingredients, packaging and looks. However, the decorations and cups in the Chef’s Collection have a distinct look and feel; they are mostly hand-made and the products are all designed in collaboration with the best pastry chefs.

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.
