Ratings and Reviews


Knowing Jordi Roca i was expecting a more punctual and technical approach, for instance, out there there are hundreds of emulsifier with different formula. An explanation of the structural characteristics of the ingredients would be expected.
I thought the course may be too advanced for me but it was well laid out and easy to follow. As an ice cream lover, I certainly appreciate quality ingredients. Jordi’s flavours are next level. If you are ready to explore beyond chocolate and vanilla, I think you will be inspired by this course. I should mention....he does a vanilla that I can only dream of. The dubbing leaves a little to be desired. It is clear and concise but lacks emotion. Subtitles are sufficient
