RAW — REINVENTING CHOCOLATE
Is Julius Persoone a chocolatier or an artist? With his magnetic personality, boundless curiosity and extraordinary drive, Julius is surging toward the culinary summit. Dive into his story and discover how, as a child, he ambitiously experimented by crossbreeding unusual tomato varieties, how he initially resisted his calling in chocolate (following in his father Dominique Persoone’s footsteps), but ultimately embraced it with the tenacity of a gladiator. He had been the creative director and head of production at The Chocolate Line since 2019.
Raw – Reinventing chocolate reads like an inspiring magazine brimming with stories and creations that provoke and delight, captured by culinary journalist Marlies Beckers and photographer Pieter D’Hoop.
