Experiences - History, Tasting and Truffles Workshop

Next Class; Saturday, 05 October, 11.30am - 1pm

Join us in the Cocoa Jones Chocolate Factory where our team will share with you the joy and craft of making chocolate.

Our classes teach you how to taste, temper and make your own delicious ganache, chocolate bars and truffles. We also have classes that explore the history and sustainability of this wondrous food otherwise known as 'Theobroma Cacao' or 'food of the gods'.

When making chocolate, there's also a surprising amount of washing up to do but don't worry about that...we'll take care of it. Details on each of our classes and how to book can be found below.

History, Tasting and Truffles

We'll be discussing the fascinating history of chocolate from its sacred role in South American culture to the multiple million-pound global industry it is today. Along the way, we’ll be discussing whether chocolate’s reputation as an aphrodisiac is deserved and why anyone not working on a Sunday should raise a glass (and a half of milk) in thanks to Cadbury. As well as learning about chocolate, you'll be tasting different varieties to consider the impact of 'origin'. Before rolling your very own truffles to enjoy at home or during the journey back.
