One of my favorite things about presenting at libraries is that we don't just taste chocolate—we create a community of curious people willing to slow down, notice, and discover something new.
Thank you to the wonderful patrons at West Babylon Public Library for joining me for Chocology 101.
Together, we explored how chocolate begins with a fruit, how origin influences flavor, and why all 77% chocolates are definitely not the same. Along the way, we traveled from cacao pod to chocolate bar, discovered the concept of terroir, and challenged our assumptions about chocolate.
A special thank-you to Goodnow Farms for allowing us to peek behind the scenes and see how craft chocolate is made--and of course your amazing chocolates.
Chocolate is more than something we eat. It's something we experience.
🍫 Be Curious.
✨ Notice.
