Twenty-Four Blackbirds Chocolate Tour & Tasting May 11
Combining the best elements of our previous Behind the Scenes and In-Depth tours, this new and improved event is for someone with a high interest in single-origin dark chocolate, where it comes from, how it's processed and the technicalities behind making shiny, lusciously smooth chocolate from what starts as a small, bitter bean. You’ll get to taste chocolate at every stage, from bean to bar (including sampling through all our single origin dark chocolate bars), as well as other products we make, like caramel and chocolate-covered espresso beans. We’ll describe the stages of roasting, sorting, refining and tempering. You’ll come away having tasted a lot of chocolate and having learned more about our specialty! There’s no expectation that participants make a purchase, but we offer 15% off in our shop after the tour, so it’s a great opportunity to buy gifts or get yourself a treat! This event is appropriate for people 10 years or older. Heat sensitive individuals should consult the weather prior to booking. Due to the nature of our work at the factory, it can become warm in the building on hot days.
A portion of the proceeds from this will benefit the Santa Barbara Culinary Experience in partnership with The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts.
