Professor Nilantha Liyanage

Professor in Food Science and Technology, University of Ruhuna

Professor Nilantha Liyanage has been the singular force driving the cocoa revitalisation in Sri Lanka. His work bridges rigorous science and the traditions of our island—lifting quality, traceability, and opportunity across the cocoa sector.

At Theolon workshops, his expertise shapes how we teach flavour, texture, and technique—so guests leave with chocolates they're proud of and insight into what makes Ceylon cocoa exceptional.

The experience

Your chocolate, your choices

Under our team's guidance, you'll temper, flavour, and mould chocolate from scratch. It's relaxed, creative, and perfect for friends, families, or a memorable outing—everyone leaves with their own creations.

Chocolate base

Pick the style that suits you—typically dark, milk, or white. We'll help you balance flavour and shine.

Fillings & inclusions

Seasonal fillings and inclusions—nuts, fruit, caramel, spices, and more. Availability varies by session.

Shapes & moulds

Select bar moulds and decorative shapes so your chocolates look as good as they taste.

Take it home

Package what you've made and leave with your handmade bars—ready to share (or not).

Maximum 5 people per workshop

For the best experience, each booking is limited to five guests. Booking a full slot for your group keeps the session private to you.
