Fun, Informative and Delicious!

5.00This was such a wonderful experience. First, we learned about the varieties of cacao and where they are grown in Mexico. Then we tasted the different types of beans. This moved on to roasting, shelling, and grinding the beans. We then determined the sweetness of our final product and made our own delicious chocolate candies. While our molded chocolates set in the refrigerator, we made chocolate de agua, once again adjusting the intensity and sweetness to personal preference. The instructors were delightful, making the experience that much sweeter! I can't wait to try this at home!
Chocolate Making fun in Oaxaca

5.00The guide was kind and extremely knowledgeable about chocolate production. There was plenty of opportunity to ask questions and explore the world of Oaxaca chocolate making. Though I originally hoped for a class with other people I ended having a private class as no one else had signed up for that date and time. I had a great time and the chocolate I made was delicious.
Very cool experience

5.00My wife and I had a great class with Tomas. He introduced us to the history and production of the cacao beans as well as an interesting personal story of his grandmother and her inspiration to his chocolate career. We produced from start to finish some delicious candies and a Oaxacan hot chocolate. The whole experience was wonderful and memorable.
Fun making chocolate
