Raúl Bernal
Raúl Bernal creates the unexpected: ravioli-shaped chocolate bonbons filled with a sweet pesto ganache, Madagascar ganache snacks that look like Marshall amplifiers, white chocolate pieces shaped like a sushi-eating shark... Chocolate is the canvas for his insanely creative and perfectly crafted pieces!
Oddly enough, Chef Bernal's chocolate and pastry career began by pure chance at the age of 16 in the northern Spanish city of Huesca. Following that first hunch that led him to the world of pastry, he moved to Barcelona to begin his studies at the Escuela del Gremio de Pastelería de Barcelona (EPGB). Bright and curious, Bernal soon became the assistant of many prominent Spanish Pastry Masters such as Chef David Inglada, Carles Mampel, Oriol Balaguer and Philippe Urraca. In 2008, the apprentice began to become the master when his chocolate pieces - inspired by the architect of La sagrada familia, Antoni Gaudì - stood out during the competition for the title of Spain's best chocolatier.
From that moment on, his work has been awarded several times at the International Chocolate Figure Awards in Barcelona and the Spanish Chocolate Awards. The cycle he started in 2008 culminated in 2011, when he finally won the Lluís Santapau Prize, making him Spain's Best Chocolatier that year.
For the last five years, Bernal has found new ways to share his passion with others by teaching at the Chocolate Academy. He was also chosen by Chocovic to be their brand ambassador. His cartoonish chocolate creations, inspired by everyday events, objects and lively characters, continue to amaze and push the boundaries of chocolate.
COURSE
Recipe: Finger Bueno Chocolate Bar
Chocolate "turrones" are the Spanish equivalent of decadently filled chocolate bars. As such, they offer endless possibilities! Raúl Bernal brings you this phenomenal turrón, inspired by the Kinder Bueno bars of our childhood. A milk chocolate shell encloses a delicious feuilletine and hazelnut gianduja, topped with a few simple waves of dark chocolate: this sweet will never go out of style!
