One of the neat thing my friend found was that we can try out chocolate at a chocolate bar.
This place is called Hexx. They do have a sit down restaurant and bar, then separately they have a candy store and ice cream bar. There's also a chocolate tasting bar.
You sit down and you can smell the cocoa, and you can see the workers grinding the cocoa seeds all lined up there.
So, the reason they're called Hexx is because their chocolate pieces are in hexagon shaped. So a bar is all in honeycomb hexagons. It's pretty cool. So, when the tray comes, they presents to us a menu of them.
Top row is milk chocolate, bottom is dark. Then, it goes from left to right by the % of acidity. So, you start with the lightest to the heaviest, and it's nice because you don't have to cleanse the palette before trying the next one. And you can just add the flavor on top, but you can still distinguish the other characteristics. It's pretty cool. My favorite was the Ecuador dark, and the Madagascar milk. What is your favorite?
You can have a Chocolate Tasting tour or a Chocolate Making Tour. You can make a reservation on their site.
