The Delicious Allure of Chocolate: A Chocolate Tasting
A love affair with chocolate has many wonderful benefits: it’s heart healthy, it elevates one’s mood, and some studies even suggest that it can promote capillary growth and increase energy, but most of all it is its rich, intense flavor that keeps us coming back for more. No wonder it has been called the “Food of the Gods.” The cacao tree grows near the Equator and is particularly expressive of its “terroir.” Flavors that range from fudge to floral are expressed depending on which region in Africa, the Caribbean or South America it’s grown. In this interactive experience, we’ll learn a lot about chocolate and get to sample a delicious range of chocolate flavors at a chocolate-tasting hosted by expert chocolatier Gillian Goddard who has started chocolate micro-enterprises in 12 countries in Africa and the Caribbean.
There is limited space for this event, and pre-registration is required to participate, including a $20 fee. Please add to your conference registration if interested.
