All St Anne’s alumnae and students are warmly invited to join us for a Virtual Chocolate Tasting Experience hosted by Cocoa Runners.
During this tutored tasting, you’ll discover the ways to understand the difference between taste and flavour, astringency and bitterness, and what causes the different textures in chocolate. You’ll have the opportunity to compare nine different chocolate bars, trying them one after another, and seeing how the upfront flavours develop and how they evolve. The Virtual Tasting will take you on a guided tour of how chocolate is grown and crafted (from the cocoa tree to the final bar) – delving into the wacky history and incredible socioeconomic impact of chocolate along the way.
