Introduction & roasting the beans
Your chocolate adventure begins with an exciting introduction to the craft of chocolate making. Meet your expert chocolatier guide at Carrer de Santa Eugènia, and embark on a fascinating journey from bean to bar. Learn about the origins of chocolate, the delicate craftsmanship involved, and the artistry behind creating the perfect bar. Once you’ve gained an understanding of the process, you’ll dive into roasting the raw cocoa beans. This essential step transforms the beans, developing their rich flavors and setting the foundation for the perfect chocolate. Your guide will explain the science of roasting, from temperature control to timing, ensuring a deeper appreciation for each bite of chocolate you create.
Grinding the cocoa & crafting your chocolate bar
After roasting, it’s time to move on to grinding the cocoa beans into a smooth paste, known as cocoa nibs. This is where the magic truly happens. You’ll use traditional grinding tools to break down the beans into a fine paste, creating the base for your custom chocolate blend. The next step is tempering, a critical technique that ensures your chocolate bars have that signature glossy finish and satisfying snap. Once tempered, it's time to unleash your creativity! Add your favorite mix-ins, such as dried fruits, nuts, or sea salt, and pour your personalized chocolate into molds, making each bar uniquely yours.
Chocolate tasting
Before the workshop ends, indulge in a delightful chocolate tasting session. Taste your own creation as well as other chocolates made by fellow participants. This is your chance to compare textures, flavors, and techniques while discovering the distinct flavors of high-quality chocolate. Your expert chocolatier will also be on hand to answer any lingering questions, offering additional insights into the chocolate-making process, the best ways to store chocolate, and fun facts about chocolate’s rich history. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a first-time maker, this tasting session will deepen your understanding of chocolate.
Take your creation home
After all the hands-on experience, it’s time to wrap up your custom-made chocolate bars. Carefully package your creations to take home, whether for yourself or as a gift for someone special. Not only will you walk away with a delicious treat, but you’ll also have a deeper appreciation for the skill and artistry involved in making chocolate from scratch. This immersive, fun-filled experience will leave you with unforgettable memories and a newfound love for the craft of chocolate making.
