Description
KAICAO offers a full bean-to-cacao workshop where you actively participate in every step of the chocolate-making process using traditional techniques.
The workshop begins with an introduction to cacao fruit origins and explains how cacao travels from farm to factory. You will select raw cacao beans, roast them to release aromas, peel husks by hand, and grind the beans with a manual grinder to create rich cacao paste.
You will then create a personal spice blend from options like cinnamon, cardamom, chili, and clove, mix it into the cacao paste, and shape your own cacao piece for preparing drinks at home.
While your cacao sets, you will learn how to grate it and prepare it as a warm drink with water or plant-based milk. The session ends with a tasting of freshly prepared cacao and KAICAO’s chocolate creations.
