Take a trip with Mateo of Prophecy Chocolate to the sights and flavors of the Amazon Jungle of Peru on Wednesday, March 6, at 6:30 PM.
This tasting and educational presentation will follow the cultivation, harvest, fermentation and processing of cacao - the raw ingredient for chocolate, and its exotic jungle cousins - Macambo, Copuazu and Cupui. Attendees will have a chance to taste chocolate bars and the unique cousins of cacao imported directly from farmers in Peru. They will learn about the traditional method of chocolate consumption and get to try a sample of chocolate how it was prepared and consumed in Central America for most of the history of cacao.
Mateo has extensive experience in organic agriculture, having worked on dozens of organic farms in the US and throughout South America. "Nowhere is the spirit, beauty and authenticity of traditional cultures reflected more strongly than on the land, with the people."
This event is free and open to the public.
