#9 - Ludwig Ratzinger: Next generation fine chocolates
Description
Ludwig Ratzinger is chocolatier, founder and owner of Fine Chocolate by Ludwig. He is originally from Bavaria, Germany, and from a long line of bakers in patisserie and breads. We learn about his advanced apprenticeship in pastries in Germany, as well as what led him to coming to Canada.
Ludwig worked in Ottawa at the iconic Chateau Laurier, and for the Governor-General of Canada in 2000.
We discuss everything from single origin sourcing of the cacao beans for his chocolate bars, to the fermentation process that imparts the rich flavours we love.
Ludwig also works closely with a Switzerland based chocolate refining processor to meet the high-quality standards he seeks for his chocolates. Fine Chocolates by Ludwig are available widely across eastern Ontario, the Ottawa area, or by direct order from his website.
