Chocolate is one of the most beloved foods in the world. Conjure up a comforting memory, and chocolate is probably in there somewhere. But what do you actually know about chocolate? From it's fascinating origins and cultivation in Mesoamerica where it was worshipped, to its conquest of the global economy as a commodity, to the revolution of ethical and sustainable chocolatiers, chocolate has a story to match its incredible flavors. In this interactive tasting-workshop, Shela will tell you all about how chocolate is made, what it means to be "bean-to-bar," how to taste it like a professional, the challenges chocolate faces today, and answer any questions you might have about chocolate. You'll taste through 6 different chocolates from some of our favorite chocolatiers domestic and abroad to develop an even greater appreciation for chocolate.
