Description

You begin your visit by discovering the tree that gives us chocolate: the cocoa tree. You will discover all the specificities that are necessary for its development and how we transform its beans to make delicious chocolate.

This second part begins with the important meeting, in 1519, between Aztec Emperor Moctezuma and Hernan Cortés, which will notably lead to the introduction of cocoa in Europe. Christopher Columbus was the first European to taste the cocoa drink "Tchocoatl" in 1502, but finding it unappetizing, he hadn't paid much attention to it.

Finally, the tasting workshop will close this visit where you will be able to discover and rediscover among a set of varieties coming from Ecuador, Costa Rica, Vanuatu, Venezuela...
