In the Basic Principles of Chocolate Making, learn how to take cacao beans and transform them into delicious chocolate. In this hands-on class, you will learn about sorting out bean imperfections, roasting, winnowing and then hand-grind your beans into chocolate that you can take home to enjoy (or enjoy on the spot). On the way, you will also learn about the commercial processing and how different ingredients are added to various grades of chocolate. Together, we will also learn to appreciate and taste chocolate to understand the characteristics of different chocolates. When?

The Cocoaro Story:
Cocoaro Craft Chocolate began in Wells, BC and was created by independent entrepreneur, Margaret Inoue. The small town and supportive local food and business community in the Cariboo helped to incubate and grow Cocoaro from an idea to a business. In 2018, Cocoaro moved to the lower mainland of BC as a result of family priorities. We have found a welcome food community and hope to grow the success of the chocolate and continue to educate people on fine craft chocolate.
The business grew out of Margaret’s passion for food, flavour, social justice and, well, chocolate. It was the intersection where she felt she could make a difference through the business she developed. She is continually learning and working on her craft. The business and bars also reflect her Japanese heritage, including the gifting aspect of the culture. She hopes you not only enjoy them, but you also share them, which is why we make the bars beautiful on the outside and delicious on the inside.
All ages welcome. Youth 14 and under should be accompanied by an adult! Please contact [email protected] for any questions.
