      There are many more chocolate makers - we lost a few due to the late timing of the expo.

  • @nopepper
    @nopepper Месяц назад +1

    When tasting to avoid the extreme changes in the flavour impacting you, start at the highest percentage and then work your way down to the lower percentages - it's the best way to enjoy especially if you are not used to dark chocolate.

  • @nopepper
    @nopepper Месяц назад +1

    Not an unfamiliar design -lot of local chocolatiers use this design in their chocolate bars.
    It is the World Cocoa and Chocolate Day Expo! Look out for it in 2025, closer to October 1st. Thanks for visiting!
