EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION
From fruit to bar: discover the world of cacao
An immersion into the world of cacao to discover where chocolate comes from and everything that happens before it reaches the bar. With Kina Chocolates, you'll discover the cacao fruit and experience first-hand the different stages involved in transforming cacao into chocolate.
You'll see and taste the cacao fruit, its pulp and the bean, and discover the different ways in which cacao can be consumed. We'll also prepare some cacao-based drinks so you can explore the ingredient beyond the chocolate bar.
The experience is completed with a tasting of eight chocolates to discover different flavours, aromas and cacao percentages, and compare how cacao expresses itself in each chocolate.
How it works
Kina Chocolates will guide you through a series of hands-on activities focused on cacao. You'll discover the fruit and have the chance to see it, taste its pulp and try the bean, experiencing first-hand how the product changes throughout the transformation process.
You'll also explore different ways of consuming cacao through several drinks, before finishing with a tasting of eight chocolates with different profiles and cacao percentages.
No experience is required. The workshop is designed for anyone who wants to discover the world of cacao in a hands-on, sensory way and understand everything that lies behind a chocolate bar.
