About This Course

There is candy, and then there is artisanal, hand-crafted dark chocolate. In this course, we looks the methods and selection process of craft bean to bar companies in contrast to mass manufacturers. We learn how fermenting and roasting (or not) affect the final product. We also learn to taste chocolate like a pro. Guided tasting is done with a variety of American and international producers.  A chocolate maker will speak to the class at the second meeting.
