Qzina Specialty Foods

I’ve been to this location a few times to attend demos and I viewed the chocolate pyramid as well. The demos I’ve been to are great, informative and even got to sample each dessert Chef Mellet & Chef Treand produced. The chocolate pyramid was incredible, not to mention the smell of chocolate filled up the room.
To add to this review, I deal with Qzina in Downey. I do desserts on the side, away from my steady full time job. I must admit I’ve dealt with other purveyors in the past and none have even come close to the customer service or help that Qzina offers. Not to mention the prices are outstanding. Every encounter I’ve had has been nothing but pleasant and they don’t make you feel like you are an inconvenience to them. For those considering Qzina, give them a try you won’t be disappointed, they are excellent.

I was really impressed with the tour of the World’s Largest Chocolate Sculpture. The gentleman who lead the tour was very knowledgable and friendly. Sadly the chocolate structure is currently being taken down but from the looks of the office, this would be a great place for culinary lessons. Looking forward to coming back again for any future items or events.

I saw the pyramid — Qzina’s Mayan chocolate pyramid that is. I went to «Qzina Specialty Foods, Inc.» in Irvine, CA on 9÷18÷2012 to see the Mayan chocolate pyramid that was built by corporate pastry chef Francois Mellet. The Mayan chocolate pyramid is modeled after the Kukulkan (aka El Castillo) pyramid at Chichan Itza in the Yucatan of Mexico. The «Qzina» pyramid is 6 feet in height, 10 feet by 10 feet at the base and weighs over 1,800 pounds. It is solid chocolate. It will be in the next edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. To view the pyramid — tours have to be arranged by calling «Qzina».
