What To Expect
We start with the history and process of making chocolate, and the impact of the Mayan culture within its development. Then we roast some cacao beans so that each participant dehusk their own seeds. With the husk we make a hot cacao infusion. The beans are molished and collected to make a drink with honey, chili and a secret ingredient, the way mayans used to drink it. We make another drink with milk, cinnamon and cloves, the way it was enjoyed in Europe back in the days. We proceed to a sample test of all of our chocolates, from 100% cacao, to 90%, 80%, 70%, milk and white chocolate. At the end, each participant gets 70g of melted chocolate to mold their own bombons. You can add different toppings on them.

5.00This workshop was the cherry on top of the Antigua experience. So good!!! The host was able to hold my attention for 2 full hours (which is a herculean task if you know me) which speaks to her expertise in engaging an audience and her rich knowledge base of cacao. It was such an immersive experience, and Jessy is amazing. Thank you so much Jessy!!!

5.00Participating in the chocolate making experience in Guatemala was both incredibly fun and educational. From the moment we started, I was engaged in every step of the process, from learning about the cacao beans to actually making chocolate. I discovered so many fascinating things about how chocolate is produced, including the traditional methods used in Guatemala and how cacao has played an important role in the country’s history and culture for centuries. The hands on activity allowed me to experiment with flavors and textures, making the learning process interactive and memorable. Overall, it was a delightful experience that combined history, culture, and creativity in a unique and enjoyable way.
