On Saturday, February 8, from 1 – 3 at Appleton Farms in Ipswich, join Taza Chocolate and Appleton Farms as they lead you through the journey from cacao bean to delicious chocolate bar. Suhayl Ramirez, Events and Outreach Coordinator for Taza Chocolate, will start your journey at the Mayan and Aztec origins of Theobroma Cacao and bring you right to the American craft chocolate being ground by stone right in Somerville, Massachusetts. All the while, participants will learn about and taste many different facets of chocolate, from the bean to the bar. Participants will help prepare and enjoy their very own traditional taza de chocolate (sumptuous Mexican hot chocolate) to complete their chocolate experience. Chef Jennifer Knight will demo a chocolate treat to pair with the Mexican hot chocolate.
This event is part of the Appleton Cooks! program of the Trustees of Reservations. TOR members $40, nonmembers $45. To register, visit http://www.thetrustees.org/things-to-do/northeast-ma/ac-cacao-chocolate-taza.html or call 978-356-5728, x 12.
