Premium Chocolate Making Experience - Around the World In Chocolate
Travel from Madagascar to the Caribbean and beyond – without leaving the Chocolate Den.
Around the World in Chocolate is a tasting and making experience for anyone who wants to discover just how different great chocolate can taste.
Guided by a Mocha chocolatier, you'll explore chocolates made with cocoa from different origins, discovering how the country, climate and character of the cocoa bean can influence everything from fruitiness and acidity to deep roasted and nutty flavours.
Then you'll put your taste buds to work, using Valrhona single-origin chocolates to create your own collection, pairing them with carefully chosen fruits, nuts, cocoa nibs and other ingredients that complement their individual flavour profiles.
What you'll do
You'll begin by tasting and comparing chocolates from different cocoa-growing regions before creating chocolates inspired by the flavours you've discovered.
Your Chocolate Experience Invitation Card arrives nestled in a Mocha gift box alongside three of our handmade artisan chocolates - a little taste of what’s to come.
With booking instructions included, it’s ready to give to someone special: chocolates to enjoy now and an experience to look forward to.
Content includes:
- A guided tasting of chocolates from different cocoa origins
- Discovering how cocoa origin can influence the flavour of chocolate
- Learning how to taste chocolate and recognise different flavour notes
- Exploring the stories and ingredients behind the chocolates
- Tasting and working with single-origin couvertures
- Comparing different percentages and styles of chocolate
- Choosing ingredients to complement different chocolate flavour profiles
- Piping single-origin chocolate into our moulds
- Finishing your chocolates with cocoa nibs, nuts, fruit pieces and other complementary ingredients
- Creating your own collection of origin-inspired chocolates
- Tips and tasting guidance from your Mocha chocolatier
The origins and chocolates used may vary, allowing us to introduce different couvertures, harvests and flavour combinations over time.
While your chocolates are setting, we'll stop for a complimentary drink and a chance to relax and chat.
What you'll take home
You'll leave with your own handmade collection of chocolates inspired by the cocoa-growing world, beautifully presented in a gold box and finished with ribbon.
You'll also receive your Mocha Chocolate Experience certificate and a photograph from your experience to take home.
You'll also receive a special discount on Mocha chocolates purchased on the day – although after learning how to taste chocolate properly, choosing from the cabinet may take a little longer than it did before.
