This tasting is hosted by Geoseph who has worked in the chocolate industry for nearly 20 years. The tasting will be fun, interactive (come with questions) and beginners are more than welcome. There will be some music and time to relax and socialize.
Prepare: These are important:
Be hungry! Being full impedes your ability to pick up flavour. Plan your meal after the tasting if possible, or eat something very light.
No perfumes/colognes/strong odours. Olfaction is key to flavour, and this will impede yours and others to enjoy the experience.
Wear comfortable clothes.
