Join the experts in craft chocolate for an evening of chocolate tasting. Develop your palate while you learn about the origins of cacao, how chocolate is made from the bean and what to look for in a "clean" chocolate ingredient label.
Similar to a wine tasting, a chocolate tasting gives you the opportunity to taste chocolate made with cacao from different parts of the world while learning about cacao farming and artisan chocolate production. You’ll learn to use your senses to enjoy and discover the flavor profiles of chocolate from different cacao-growing regions and different chocolate makers, and compare them with a childhood favorite. While tasting chocolate, participants learn about the artisan bean-to-bar and craft chocolate movements, and how cacao varietal, fermentation and production techniques influence the quality of chocolate.
