Event Overview

Chocolate has more flavor compounds than any other food. That makes the pairing possibilities endless! Yet most of us never stray from the sweeter end of the spectrum.

Had a great time at this event. Learned a lot about the history of chocolate and new brands that I hadn't hear of before. Host was very knowledgeable on all things chocolate. Venue is adorable as well!

I loved all the chocolate history that I learned in this class. The savory chocolates were right up my alley but a sweet lover would also be right at home. I'd never been to Cocoa + Co before but I'll definitely be returning for a coffee and a treat.

I work across the street from Cocoa + Co., and I've only ever stopped in there for coffee, but I am so glad I took an hour out of my weekend to not only get an awesome chocolate education, but to learn more about an awesome business in my "work neighborhood". Kim really knows her stuff, and is clearly very passionate about chocolate, and the products she carries in her store. I never thought of chocolate as a savory treat before, but now I don't know if I can go back to the sweet side after trying such awesome spiced and savory chocolates.
