About this activity

This isn't a chocolate demonstration — you make the chocolate yourself.

Begin beside living cacao trees, then work through the bean-to-bar process yourself: roasting, cracking, winnowing, grinding, refining, tempering and moulding locally grown Caribbean cacao.

You'll taste cacao at different stages, learn how fruit becomes chocolate, and leave with a bar you've made yourself. The class takes place inside our working bean-to-bar chocolate house in downtown Puerto Viejo.You can learn more about Cacao Huasi on our website.

What's included
