About the Event
In this hands-on workshop, we'll learn how to crack and winnow freshly roasted cacao beans, start a new batch of chocolate using a melanger, and cover the art of tempering (plus chocolate tastings along the way)! You’ll leave the class with two bars of single origin dark chocolate that you helped to craft.
This class is led by Julia Street of J Street Chocolate. Julia's small batch chocolate bars showcase cacao on its own and paired with fermented ingredients and by-products of food production (aka food waste).
