Feedback from past participants:
"A lovely shared moment that lets you discover every step of making chocolate, from the cacao tree in situ to the bar, with all the varieties of chocolate: dark, milk, white! For chocolate lovers, budding cacao growers, the curious...
Very instructive, perfectly led by Nicolas and Camille, who took us back to the time of the Mayas and Aztecs from the moment we arrived with their spiced 100% chocolate drink. Then came the visit of the plantations with Camille, who puts 100% love into growing her cacao trees, which can only bring 100% golden pods, then the secret of making chocolate by Nicolas, from opening the pod to the tasting... mmmm... chocolatey delicious...
I loved it!
