Paul Occhipinti
Best Craftsman of France (MOF), Chocolatier & Candymaking et Consultant & Educator
Paul Occhipinti is a chocolate chef from Sardinia. In 2018, he was awarded the title of Best Craftsman of France (MOF) in the Chocolate making & Confectionery category.
When he arrived in France, he studied pastry, chocolate and ice cream making. During his youth, Paul was able to learn from MOF Chocolatiers such as Christian Camprini and Nicolas Cloiseau. At the tender age of 16, he met Christian Camprini who instilled in him his love of chocolate and the world of French excellence.
Young and very talented, the Chef worked for the incredible Eden Roc hotel in Antibes as Chef de partie. Then, at the age of only 26, he was awarded the prestigious MOF title.
Attracted by the craftsmanship of chocolate making, as well as its playful, regressive and gourmet side, it was quite natural for him to launch his own artisanal chocolate factory, 'Nico et les chocolats' in 2020, which aims to transport us to a childlike world. Mindful of being environment-friendly and wanting to respect the products he uses; his creations are certified organic and fair trade. Paul is also a trainer at the most important gastronomic schools in France and abroad, teaching professionals in the field.
For VoilaChef, Paul Occhipinti reveals his secrets and shares with us how to make a soft cocoa and rum flavored marshmallow, a crunchy praline-filled bar with a touch of salt, and his signature Piedmont hazelnut & Gianduja rocher.

I'm a CAP pastry chef and I have all the basics, but with voila chef's courses, I really feel like I'm learning new things, more advanced and perfected techniques, and I've made considerable progress. What's more, the courses are extremely well explained, the videos are clear and easy to follow, and all the recipes I've tried have been 100% successful, and above all, they're also excellent in terms of taste.

Great online training platform.
The videos are very detailed, and the professionals are very educational. So you can reproduce the recipes at home, even if you're not a specialist.
If you're still hesitating, go for it!

Le partage de connaissances d'aussi grands noms dans le domaine est un pur bonheur! Leurs explications sont justes et précises, et juste suffisamment détaillées. Les vidéos sont de bonnes qualité, et les recettes sont extras, toujours avec "facile,moyen, difficile". Le seul truc qu'il manquerait ce serait de pouvoir poser des questions au MOF. Mais sinon, j'adore cette plateforme!
