Class description
Come with us on a delicious culinary journey through Ecuador with high-quality original chocolates. Enjoy a delicious variety of fair trade Ecuadorian fine and high-quality chocolates with all their rich flavors.
Archaeologists have traced the origins of the cocoa tree to Ecuador, where they found evidence of the domestication of cocoa at least 5,300 years ago in the Mayo Chinchipe culture. Dive into a world through chirping rainforests, through wonderfully glowing cocoa plantations in Ecuador, to the Ecuadorians who lovingly make delicious chocolate from high-quality cocoa beans.
In our workshops of around 60 to 90 minutes, we will turn you into real chocolate experts! We give you a comprehensive introduction to the world of fine chocolate, provide you with background knowledge and tips and tricks on how to really enjoy chocolate. Experience what makes original chocolate from Ecuador so special and experience a wide variety of flavors.
The workshop is anything but a frontal presentation: surveys, quizzes and Q&A sessions make the tasting an interactive chocolate experience.
A chocolate tasting that everyone likes!
In the German or English-language workshop, you will learn:
- How chocolate is made up close and personal from our travel reports to the cocoa farms in Ecuador in the middle of Ecuadorian rainforests,
- What distinguishes fine chocolate from supermarket chocolate
- What you should pay attention to when tasting chocolate
- the different variety of original Ecuadorian chocolates,
- Which techniques can be used to taste aromas particularly well.
Digital team or group events with chocolate enjoyment!
Armed with the new knowledge, we taste the chocolates together, take a look behind the scenes of the individual manufacturers and discover and discuss the exciting flavors and new impressions.
In short: We'll take you on a very special, chocolaty taste excursion!
Basically, we offer 2 different packages, which differ in product size:
- The “premium” package, which is booked with us in most cases, contains 5 selected, high-quality and sustainably produced “bean to bar” chocolates with a cocoa content of 70% each (complete bars, made with cocoa from different countries of origin), educational tasting materials & a surprise cocoa snack.
- The “Basic” package is a streamlined version of this, with 3 chocolates with a cocoa content of 70% each and also the tasting materials.
- We also offer a “deluxe” version, in which we can arrange a pairing in close consultation with you, for example with wine or craft beer to match the chocolate. The packages can also be supplemented with non-alcoholic beverages such as drinking chocolate, coffee or cocoa fruit juice spritzer.
All chocolates are “pure” chocolates with a cocoa content of 70% each, i.e. they consist exclusively of cocoa beans and cane sugar and no additives, i.e. they are naturally vegan and lactose-free.
The chocolate tasting takes place for groups of at least 10 people. By arrangement, a chocolate tasting on site is also possible.
