<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday 22 June the Year 12 Food Technology students visited the Gosford Chocolate Factory. The visit provided an opportunity to see how a variety of chocolate and nougat products are made and to provide a good insight into food manufacturing processes and equipment. While walking around the factory we were able to taste some of the products being made including chocolate coated liquorice, nougat and marshmallows. A highlight included students being able to make their own chocolate bar and to shop at the store. Lunch at the cafe was also included as part of the visit and then we made the trip back to Strathfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having the opportunity to go on this excursion allowed me to extend my knowledge on the production process involved in making Nougat and Chocolate products. Additionally, the practical component of designing my own chocolate bar was my favourite part of the day.<\/p>\nEmilia Rodrigues<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed seeing how liquorice is made and how the nougat is packaged. It was good to see how the machines work and also to taste the products. The equipment was really interesting and I have never seen machines like that before. The staff were really nice and the food was really good.<\/p>\nApril Cividin<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed seeing the production run of a chocolate factory where I gained an insight into the operation of their equipment to produce and package their products. Their tastings throughout the process were delicious as well as decorating our own chocolate bar which was a fun interactive experience.<\/p>\nStephanie Scalia<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
