I ordered this tasting and then put together a dinner party for some of my gal friends. We all enjoyed this tasting b/c of how different the chocolate bars were. The packaging was also gorgeous as well as the info cards. We also used the videos to listen to the chocolate makers explain their chocolates. Really well done!
A friend of mine is battling cancer and was stuck at home, so we came to her house to keep her company. I thought this tasting kit was perfect for our get-together. The tasting turned into a multi-hour event and really lifted her spirits. After knowing Kim Wilson and supporting her efforts for many years, I have learned a lot of about the cacao industry. These women knew nothing about the industry and would only buy the big-name chocolate brands. Everyone was blown away by the female farmers/chocolate makers in the video. They had no idea this was going on. I was able to share a lot about what Cocoa Future Collaborative is trying to do. Our hands-down favorite chocolate bars were the Levelez 58% with Raspberries and Masphi 65% with cacao pulp. I am so proud of Kim's and the Collaborative's efforts. I think I have tried most of the tasting kits and highly recommend all of them.
Having invited friends for dinner, my girlfriend and I arranged your chocolate selections for a tasting as our dessert. Setting out chocolates on separate plates we
Had the producers’ pictures and stories on display for a multisensory tasting experience. The differences in flavor and texture were striking, and all were superb! Such a terrific way to support women entrepreneurs worldwide- thank you for creating a pathway for us to support them!
This was so fun. I surprised my boyfriend with this for Valentine's Day and he was so sincerely delighted when he opened it up. We had a tasting and read all of the biographies. How fun to try so many at one sitting and to identify the notes that were listed on the postcard bios.We even saved the rest for a dinner party a few weeks later so that we could taste and judge with our friends. It was a big hit.I especially loved the Mashpi 65% Dark Chocolate Bar Filled with Cacao Pulp from Ecuador (the pulp was surprising - tart sweet and jelly like. Nice variety of bars with peppercorns, raspberry, Nigerian spices....I would order this again but now I see that you have other tasting packages to try as well! So worth it!!!
I ordered this tasting as "dessert" for a Galentine's gathering. It was really fun - and each bar was SO different, memorable, and delicious. The packaging was pretty too!
We followed the suggested tasting order - and passed around the info cards and packaging for everyone to see. Different women took turns reading the cards out loud to the group. We were interested and amazed by the women's stories! It felt special to get to taste products from so many different countries.
Our group size was 11. One bar only served 10 people, but otherwise, the quantity was perfect for our group. There weren't many leftovers - ha ha - and those we did have were quickly claimed!
