All about chocolate

5.00Everyone was friendly and spoke English. The candy bar making is upstairs but is open to shop and dining below so the acoustics made it hard to hear at times. You get to see cocoa pod and taste actual cocoa seed. Where the cocoa is grown in Panama and how it is made into chocolate is explained. Then you get to help cool the chocolate on marble table. Then pour chocolate into mold and add toppings. Next you go downstairs and get little pieces of the various chocolates that Nomé makes with varying amounts of cocoa and other ingredients and two specialty filled chocolates with your choice of water or preseco. By the time you finish the chocolate bars you made have chilled and are ready to go. We learned some new things about chocolate and enjoyed our experience!
Fun and educational

5.00I can say so many positive things about my experience with the Nome staff today, but then I'd be writing a dissertation, and I don't have time for that, lol. Simply put, the staff was very friendly and informative and he gave us indepth details about the entire process of chocolate making and I can truly say that I left Nome with more knowledge about Chocolate than I had when I arrived. The process was fun and educational and I would recommend them to anyone whos looking to learn the basics about preparing chocolate and wanting a fun experience at the same time. I was thoroughly pleased, please check them out! You won't be sorry!
Very good experience

5.00It’s a short tour, about an hour. It’s a family run business that has made me appreciate chocolate even more. From the beginning to the end, it was engaging
Yum

5.00There were approx 10 in the group. Our guide, using real props, thoroughly explained the process from harvest to the final product-chocolate. We then poured our own chocolate bar into a mold and customized it with our choice of added dried fruits and nuts. While the bars were cooling, we were treated with various samples. YUM. Our guide’s English was great and the process a fun experience. I would have purchased their chocolate bars, but found the price too expensive.
Great quality chocolate & unique experience in Casco Viejo!
