I am originally from the Zoque ethnic group of the Isthmus Region, belonging to the state of Oaxaca, I come from a chocolate family by tradition, where I will be able to share my experience and knowledge that I have acquired over the years, giving rise to cocoa, you will be able to taste how cocoa It transforms its flavor according to its elaboration.
Snacks
Our tasting consists of trying different varieties and processes of cocoa, to distinguish the differences of each one. We work with ranges of cocoa percentage to taste, from Pure Cocoa (0% sugar) to the most traditional chocolate, we taste 15 to 20 presentations of cocoa and chocolate, among them: Natural cocoa, cocoa endemic to the region, drinks and chocolate bars with alternative sugar. Part of the traceability and culture of cocoa in Oaxaca is told. We will take a short break with a cocoa-based sandwich, and to finish off a house drink. It lasts approximately 2 hours. Ideal for families, vegans and anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the culture of chocolate. If you dare to another experience for children we recommend you check the following link. https://www.viator.com/es-CL/tours/Oaxaca-City/Make-Your-Own-Chocolate-with-Oaxacan-Tradition-Private-Class/d50491-337169P2

The whole team is super prepared and has a great passion for their mission, they told us a lot about the history of cocoa but also made us experience amazing flavors through the tasting of cocoa, chocolates, cocoa based drinks and an amazing dessert! Super recommended.

Wonderful!

Such a lovely experience. The place is absolutely immaculate and very colourful and charming. Everything is done by hand and the utmost care is taken to ensure hygiene measures are followed. Victor explained the cacao process in such a friendly way that even kept my 4 and 6 year olds engaged and excited to learn. Chocolates and snacks at the end were delicious. Highly recommend.

OUTSTANDING!

One of the best--if not THE best learning experiences with chocolate EVER. I know that might sound a bit over-the-top, but our experience with Ali on March 11th was nothing short of spectacular. She explained the differences between the various Cacao beans---Light Seed, Dark Seed, Purple Seed (Fermented & Washed) and White Seed (Pataxte). She discussed how Cacao was used (for special occasions) in Pre-Hispanic culture and how it evolved with sugar brought by the Spanish. A wonderful interactive ...read more

It was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was very appropriate, our guide’s knowledge was very thorough, and the experience of tasting different flavors was incredible. It’s something you shouldn’t miss.
