This word has three definitions. First, it signifies a candy maker who specialises in the creation of fine chocolate confections using artisanal techniques.  It also refers to the shop of that person. The title is also given to individuals who hold various positions in chocolate production facilities, e.g., who evaluate beans or supervise roasting, conching, and blending. These chocolatiers adjust the blends, roasting times and other factors to ensure a final formula that conforms with the house style.
