The Ganachery is now open at Disney Springs

Chocolate lovers will be excited to hear that The Ganachery is now open at Disney Springs! It’s just in time for those who still have loved ones on their Christmas list to shop for.

This gourmet chocolate shop shows the story of chocolate through every aspect – design, graphics, costumes and elegant packaging. It will feature Disney’s own recipe for custom-made ganache.

The story that the Disney Imagineers are telling is that this chocolate shop used to be an apothecary where residents of the springs came for medicinal needs. The space was then taken over by a couple from South America who turned into a chocolate shop. There are even pictures on the wall of the couple to make it feel more real.

The bottles, scales and other decor are inspired by old apothecaries. The chandelier is made from copper pots and kettles used to make chocolate.

Most of the cocoa beans used to make the chocolate and ganache are sourced from South America. In addition, the decor is Latin with ceramic draws and South American music. The walls are painted the color of dark chocolate and caramel.

Even the packaging has the appothocary feel. It has the traditional blocked labels with spaces for weights, measurements and descriptions. The shops tagline is “the cure for common chocolate”. See sometimes the best medicine is chocolate. Th packagings colors are browns, caramel, cream and ivory – the color of chocolate.

Guests can see the chocolate being made through a big show window. Make sure to try one of the 16 flavors of ganache. Flavors include dark chocolate with shaved Egyptian salt and milk chocolate with bit of dark chocolate and a pinch of Sri Lankan cinnamon.
