History of Chocolate: From Mesoamerica to Artisanal Treats In-Person

Join us for a delicious hour-long journey through chocolate’s 5,000-year history! 

This presentation explores the history of chocolate from its Mesoamerican roots, the process of how it’s made, and the distinctions between dark, milk, white, and ruby varieties—as well as Belgian, Swiss, and French styles. The highlight of the event is a guided tasting featuring freshly crafted chocolates from a Somerville, NJ artisan chocolatier with 16 years of experience.
