| Chocolate Experience Event |

An original, engaging, distinctive and indulgent experience guaranteed to entertain, stimulate and educate. Be assured that you will voluntarily and enthusiastically treble your daily calorie quota by enjoying a wide variety of amazing chocolate and mouth watering chocolates!

The event is presented by a master chocolatier and accomplished professional inspirational speaker who has a lively and engaging style.

Starting off with an irreverent potted history of the cocoa bean, we move on to how it's grown and processed to make chocolate.

The cocoa tree - Theobroma Cacao Criollo

You'll be seeing and tasting cocoa beans, cocoa liquor, cocoa butter and other products of the production process. Enjoy blind tasting a range of outstanding chocolates.

We'll reveal what makes up excellent chocolate (and not such good stuff too) after trying varieties of pure plain, milk and white chocolates all with varying cocoa-solid and milk-solid content. And then we move on to how chocolates themselves are made. You will learn to tell whether a chocolate is hand-made or machine-made. You will taste a wide variety of superb creations including fresh cream chocolates, pralines, moulded and dipped chocolates. We reveal how a good chocolatier formulates the recipes for excellent chocolates and apply this to newly learned tasting techniques.

By the end of this indulgent affair, all your questions about chocolate will have been answered. You will have sharpened your skills as a discerning chocophile and will never look at chocolate the same way again!

DURATION, PRICE AND VENUE

The event is tailored to meet your timings. Typically the duration is around 90 minutes but can be shortened to 45 minutes if required.

Prices start from £14 per person. This would include all the chocolate tasting and sampling of chocolates with a retail value from £18. Superb value for money!

The venue can be anywhere in the UK and needs to be large enough to accommodate a seated audience. Usually this is between 20 and 100 people. The audience can be seated at tables although this is not essential.

PERFECT AS A DINNER EVENT

The Chocolate Experience Event is often incorporated as part of a dinner. The format for this begins with a pre-dinner presentation covering the history of chocolate, where it comes from and how it's made. With some tasting included, this lasts about 50 minutes.

Dinner is then served. After the main course is complete, we resume by combining an entertaining presentation with samplings of many chocolates and chocolate creations. This is effectively the desert and lasts about 60 minutes. We recommend that coffee is served at this time.

A DIFFERENT CORPORATE EVENT

The Chocolate Experience Event makes a refreshing and original change to the nature of corporate and marketing events. We produce this for a wide variety of purposes including functions, away-days, corporate weekends, dinners, corporate entertaining, marketing, training and motivational programmes throughout the UK.

If you are looking for an event that is lively, different, memorable, original and unique for your company, staff, clients or prospects, the Chocolate Experience Event would be perfect for you.

CHARITIES, FUNDRAISING AND CLUBS

The Chocolate Experience Event is presented to charities as an effective means to raise funds or raise awareness of a particular initiative. We have worked with a variety of registered charities throughout the UK.

We produce a shortened version of the event if time requires. For example, for luncheon clubs we have a 60 minute presentation with the focus on how chocolate is made and how to tell the difference between outstanding and mediocre chocolate.

This is accompanied by lots and lots of tasting!
