Introduction to Chocolate Tasting
Chocolate is the New Wine
Chocolate has amazing complexities and levels of flavor. You'll find unique attributes for each chocolate you taste, from flavor notes to texture to finish, as though each one had a distinctive personality.
Like fine wine, many things affect the final product: the blend of cacao beans, the percentage of cacao, the region where the beans were grown, as well as the timing and manner of the roasting and drying processes. Like wine, chocolate connoisseurs hold tasting sessions that let them explore all the delicious details of their favorite food.
Creating your own tasting event is easy, fun and certainly delicious.
What to Taste
Dark or milk? 70% Cacao or 35% Cacao? What are the different kinds of chocolate, and which to select for your tasting.
Conducting The Session
Just like a wine tasting, you use all your senses. How to See, Feel, Smell, Hear and Taste chocolate.
