Event Overview

Do you remember the days when all you needed to satisfy a chocolate craving was a few Hershey's Kisses, a mini-Twix or maybe if you were treating yourself to the good stuff, a Godiva chocolate truffle? What about when chocolate was simply broken down into three categories; dark, milk and white? Well we've evolved quite a bit as a species since then and can now revel in craft chocolate - a growing industry akin to the third wave coffee scene. Bean to bar chocolates, as they're known, are skillfully crafted bars and confections, using ethically sourced ingredients, a laborious process, and packed with a healthy boost (cacao is rich in flavonoids, magnesium, and more). 

You might ask what is real chocolate anyways and who is making it? What do cacao percentages mean to me the buyer? It is better to be fair trade or small batch? What is important to know when buying chocolate? And perhaps most important, what does it taste like?

These questions and more will be answered and explored as we gather for a chocolate tasting class. Weather permitting, we may take the class upstairs to the patio overlooking the city of Denver. You'll learn, savor, and catalyst your interest in artisan chocolate; I promise they'll be very new brands that you're not accustomed to seeing at the supermarket. Come join me - let's nosh!
