Cacao Experience/Chocolate
"From My Town to Your Table"
During this hands-on experience, you will learn how to make your own chocolate in a traditional way, replicating the process of our community using basic utensils that you can easily obtain at a local market.
We will begin with an introduction to the world of Oaxacan cocoa to identify the organoleptic qualities of each seed. You will learn the difference between cocoa, commercial chocolate, and what we call 'conscious chocolate,' emphasising our commitment to crafting chocolate in an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible manner.
Following the introduction, we will roast the cocoa on a clay griddle known as a comal. This comal comes from the community of San Marcos Tlapazola (Valles Centrales, Oaxaca).
We will peel cocoa with our hands, carrying out this ritual while narrating part of the history and culture of cocoa in our community as we transform the cocoa into chocolate in an artisanal manner.Afterward, you will choose the percentage of sugar for your chocolate, mixing it with different regional ingredients.
To conclude, we will teach you how to prepare your beverage with a 'molinillo,' a traditional kitchen utensil that helps us incorporate and integrate the chocolate.
We will finish by tasting the drink with a snack based on the rich flavors of cocoa.
Participants will each take home their own handcrafted chocolate.
This experience lasts approximately 2 to 3 hours.
The cost of this experience is $1,550 MXN per adult and $950 MXN per child (3 to 12 years old).
A 50% deposit is required to schedule.
