Ajala Chocolate Factory: The Story of Czech Artisan Chocolate
History and Establishment
Chocolate shop Ajala was founded in Brno in 2014 by Filip Teplý and his wife Silvia. The inspiration to make chocolate came after tasting traditional Mayan chocolate from Guatemala, which was brought to them by a friend. This experience appealed to them so much that they decided to make their own chocolate according to the original methods, which led to the establishment of the Ajala manufactory.
Production process and philosophy
Ajala makes its chocolate using the "bean-to-bar" method, which means that it makes chocolate directly from cocoa beans, not semi-finished products. This process involves carefully selecting and roasting the beans, grinding them on granite stones and then aging the chocolate mass. The whole process of making one bar of chocolate takes about 10 days.
Ajala Chocolate Factory emphasizes the quality of ingredients and the ethical sourcing of cocoa beans , which come from various parts of Central and South America, such as the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela.
Unique composition and taste
Ajala is characterized by using panel, which is sugarcane juice, instead of regular refined sugar. This approach preserves maximum nutrients and adds a unique flavor to the chocolate. Ajala offers a variety of chocolates, including flower and orange, coconut and pineapple flavors, or even coffee.
International successes
Since its inception, Ajala has become an internationally recognized chocolatier. She won several prizes at prestigious competitions such as the International Chocolate Awards.
Ajala's philosophy is not only to produce quality chocolate, but also to restore traditional production methods and promote ethical trade in cocoa . The factory tries to continue the historical tradition of Czechoslovakia as one of the largest processors of cocoa beans in the world.
Ajala Chocolate Factory is an example of how passion and determination can lead to the creation of something extraordinary . From humble beginnings to international recognition, Ajala continues its journey to produce authentic, quality and ethically produced chocolate. Her story is an inspiration to all who believe in the power of tradition and honest craftsmanship.
