Please note: this was previously advertised as a tasting with Annalisa Barbieri. She unfortunately can no longer join us, so the event has been changed to an Introduction to Craft Chocolate. If you have any questions about this, please contact us.

During this tasting, you will get the opportunity to taste a wide array of chocolates, learn about the difference between craft and mass-produced chocolate, understand the history of cacao, and most importantly, unlock a world of taste and flavour. You will even learn about where chocolate comes from, with the chance to hold a real cocoa pod in your hands!

This interactive tasting is family-friendly and suitable for all ages. This event will run from 12:45-13:30 on Saturday 12th October, 2024 at the Fidelio Cafe, Farringdon.
