Join Exeter Chocolate Festival organiser, trained educator and certified chocolate taster (with the International Institute of Chocolate and Cacao Tasting) Nicola on a chocolate tasting journey through the basics of what is fine chocolate and the sensory elements used in chocolate tasting.

This 1 hour and 15 minute session will provide you with a good introduction into chocolate tasting and includes tasting 6 or more different origin or blended fine dark chocolate bars for an understanding of aroma, length, texture and taste.

An idea of what we will discuss, includes:

• What is fine chocolate?
• Taste and profile fine chocolate.
• How the cacao is produced, and how chocolate is made.
• Background information about each of the chocolate makers.
• Recognising flaws in chocolate.

Each attendee will receive a chocolate bar to take away from the session, and contact details for any further questions not addressed during the event.
