This event is held in the tasting room of our chocolate factory (not at our retail store inside Krog St Market). Here's what we'll do:
- First, we’ll begin with a quick primer on chocolate, starting with a botanical overview of the amazing plant that gives us chocolate: Theobroma cacao! We'll also run through the history of how the seeds from this plant were transformed, first into xocolatl by the Aztecs and Mayans and then into sipping chocolate by the Europeans, before becoming the magical treat we know of today as chocolate.
- We'll bring you up to contemporary times with a look under the hood of the craft chocolate movement and how we transform raw cacao seeds into chocolate bars and confections, respecting our sourcing partners and the environment all along the way.
- You'll get to enjoy a guided tasting of two single origin chocolates, exploring the differences terroir and processing have on chocolate flavor profiles. You'll also try a chocolate enrobed bonbon as well as a truffle, to sample the difference form has on flavor.
- We'll teach you the basics to be your own chocolatier! You'll get to choose pre-made chocolate ganaches as well as your toppings, then learn how to hand-roll your own truffles. You'll walk out with your own 8 piece box of hand-rolled truffles to gift or to enjoy on your own.
Important Allergen Note: We use tree nut milks instead of dairy milk in our chocolate. Our chocolate ganaches include almond milk and coconut oil. Our chocolate is not suitable for those with tree nut allergies. All of the chocolate in this session is dairy free, soy free and gluten free. Our facility also processes peanuts.
