Cal Poly Chocolates

Cal Poly Chocolates is a student Enterprise Project, supervised by faculty advisor and Food Science and Nutrition Professor Tom Neuhaus. Students develop, create, package and market chocolate products using fair trade chocolate. Chocolates are sold in Central Coast markets, on campus at Campus Market El Corral bookstore, Village Market, and by special order. All Cal Poly chocolates are now certified as Fair Trade chocolate. We also offer a chocolate production class where students get to make all the chocolate sold. This course, FSN 201, is offered every quarter except for summer quarter. Our mission is to educate students about chocolate and food processing by getting them involved in the process of making chocolate. Students will also become familiar with GMPs. Students will learn the importance of Fair Trade as it pertains to Chocolate and other Fair Trade products.
