Chaqchao Chocolate Making Workshop

Listen to the exciting history of cacao while learning how to make chocolate from bean-to-bar.

Participants will make chocolate, the traditional chocolate drink of Aztec kings, and will finish the class by creating their very own chocolate bar to take home. The class will also include a chocolate tasting – can you spot the difference between the gourmet and the commercial?

Our classes normally run at 11am or 2:45pm. Please if you decide to book a chocolate class with us DO NOT FORGET to send us a message telling us what time would you prefer the class.
You can either send us an email at chaqchao@gmail.com or by WhatsApp to +51 983771148

The class runs for 2.5 hours and includes:
- Explanation of the bean to bar chocolate making process and history of cacao
- Roasting your own cacao beans
- Making your own cacao paste in the traditional Mexican style with a granite stone morter
- Making cacahuatil, an ancient Mexican drink.
- Blind taste of different chocolates to understand the differences between commercial and artisan chocolate
- Making your own chocolates with Andean grains, like quinoa, kiwicha, and coca to take home with you.

The class is taken within our Chaqchao café where we also sell organic Peruvian coffee, organic homemade desserts, craft Peruvian beer and of course our bean to bar chocolates.
