'Chocolate Covered' - Chocolate Appreciation Workshops
Chocolate appreciation, understanding and enlightenment – from bean to bar
Taste chocolates from all over the world!
Josophan’s Chocolate Covered workshops are designed to demystify the world of chocolate for participants and there has never been a better time to learn more about the ‘super food’ chocolate.
Chocolate Covered will take participants on a discovery tour, enhancing their understanding and challenging tastebuds. Jodie Van Der Velden, founder of the award winning Josophan’s, will lead participants through the Chocolate covered experience, taking a journey from bean to bar, as they learn about:
- The history of cacao
- How and where cacao grows
- different types of cacao
- harvesting and manufacturing - following the bean to bar
Participants will be guided through a fun and enlightening tasting of up to 15 chocolates, arguably some of the best in the world, made from beans sourced around the globe. Participants will learn to discern different tastes/textures/aromas using all their senses, whilst learning:
- how to determine the quality of chocolate using your senses
- how different origin beans effect chocolate outcomes in extraordinary single origin chocolates
- how chocolate is used by artisan chocolatiers to create fine chocolates
- how to store chocolate
The Chocolate Covered experience is ideal for those wanting to learn more about chocolate, makes a fabulous gift idea and is a great TEAM BUILDING opportunity, with participants involved in interactive taste testing competitions to win prizes and sharing the fun experience!
