Description

Good to Know

When I first started travelling, I really enjoyed the context provided by those old fashioned guidebooks, how the history of a country, a town a people were linked to what had happened there. I was stunned to realise that our food has been on a similar journey and I wanted to offer more than a class that teaches you how to play with melted chocolate, so here it is, a hands on entry into the world of chocolate making, from the tree to the bar and beyond. Oh this is all vegan, dark chocolate is vegan but it will taste like Christmas so milk chocolate fans, this will be a revelation.

Bottled water

On this experience you’ll learn the true story of how chocolate becomes the world’s favourite sweet. We’re located on the edge of the Caribbean Sea in the Historic Port of Falmouth, a location normally accessible only to cruise ship passengers. My family is from this area and has been growing cocoa for generations so I always give a brief history of the island and the historical use of chocolate. I’ll tell you about how I went from a BBC Correspondent to a chocolate maker before I explain how we go from the raw ingredients to the finished yummy product. We then get to know each other before we make our traditional Jamaican spiced chocolate but with a twist. We'll roast cocoa in the big industrial machines before I share my favourite DIY hack for when you get home! I’ll show you how to hand temper chocolate at any kitchen table using just a bowl, a a spatula and a hair dryer! Before I walk you through creating your own custom made inclusion chocolate bars. We’ll introduce you to the pods up close, we’ll look inside the fruit and I’ll explain how the beans are fermented on the farm and how the nibs are processed before we unveil your bespoke bars.

DESSERT

Cocoa Tea

Instead of drinking a melted spiced cacao brew, we'll use the ingredients to create or own unique indulgent inclusion chocolate bar.

Excellent, unique, and educational!

My husband and I were looking for a unique experience close to the Falmouth Port and Nick did not disappoint. Although we were an hour early (ship time instead of island time) Nick accomodated us. I cannot overstate the richness of the history lesson we received about the history of chocolate in Jamaica and thFalmouth Chocolate Factory. Njck is a fantastic story teller and very passionate about cultural contributions. Chocolate making is an art, and an artist Nick is. We tasted chocolate, and ma...read more

Tasting Jamaican Culinary History

A group of us did an amazing tasting experience where we learnt about the history of cacao in Jamaica from the earliest indigenous Taino people to its role in the present day. Our hosts Nick and Marta taught us the dynamics of chocolate making from bean to bar and we got to sample single origin chocolates from cocoa estates around the island. We also sampled beverages made from chocolate including a traditional tea and a modern cocktail. The experience was an oral and gustatory delight! A must d...read more

A Blessing for Chocoholics

What an awesome journey through Jamaicas cocoa history. Nick brings the rich history of chocolate in this region to light in a very informative and engaging way. Everyone knows about coffe from Jamaica but everyone should really know about cocoa too and with Nicks family history steeped in cocoa farming and his BBC journalistic background there is noone better to tell this story. The best part is you get to taste the amazing chocolate too!
