I've been enamored with Creo Chocolate in Portland, Oregon, ever since they so kindly hosted me at their shop during my book tour. They use one of my all-time favorite heirloom cocoa beans in many of their bars: Hacienda Limon, from Ecuador. We'll be tasting it in several incarnations, which will give you a deep understanding of where its natural caramel notes and mild flavors come from. Seriously, the first time I tried these beans in a 70 percent bar, I thought it was a milk chocolate!
At the interactive event on June 2 at 4 PM ET, we’ll be tasting:
73% Single-Origin Hacienda Limon, Ecuador
Spicy Dark
Caramelized Milk
Caramelized White
(Note: Registration deadline is at noon ET on May 27th!)
When you buy the tasting, Creo and I will send you these four bars and a link to join us for a guided tasting on Zoom on June 2 at 4 PM ET. I'll lead the conversation, and Creo co-owner Janet Straub will be there to tell us all the fun stories behind each bar. We'll all get to weigh in on what we like (and don't like), and ask questions. The entire tasting will be about an hour and a half and will be completely interactive.
If you can't attend at 4 PM ET but would still like the bars, you're welcome to order them, and I'll send you our tasting notes for each.
I'll also be online early to answer any questions and troubleshoot tech issues. Hope you can join us!
