Description
Good to Know
Dive into the fascinating world of Ecuadorian cocoa at the Atelier, where you will experience a practical journey from tree to bar. This immersive experience invites you to discover the unique aromas, textures, and flavors of Ecuadorian cocoa, while learning about the artisanal process that transforms cocoa beans into delicious chocolate.
Create your own chocolate making and share moments of connection with the earth and with other participants, while discovering the stories behind each stage of the process.
This experience is not just about making chocolate; it is a way to know and celebrate the heart of Ecuador through its cacao.
Snacks
The tasting is included, as is a cacao-based drink, and all the ingredients to make your artisanal chocolate.
A journey from cocoa to cup.
During this experience, travelers will discover Ecuadorian cacao from its origin and live, step by step, its transformation into chocolate.
They will start by getting to know the corn and exploring its aromas, textures, and flavors. They will try the cocoa at different stages—from the mucilage and the nibs to the chocolate—while discovering what happens during fermentation, drying, roasting, and artisanal making.
Through questions, tastings, and demonstrations, they will understand the science behind each transformation and discover how a fruit can become a chocolate bar and, finally, a cup.
It will be a trip to discover it with all the senses.
