Chocolate Maker Alan McClure Speaking to Participants of the Recent Chocolate Discussion and Tasting in Columbia, MO.
Patric Chocolate would like to thank everyone who turned up at the chocolate talk and tasting this past Saturday at World Harvest Foods. Honestly, we didn't really know how many people to expect, but for a "small" college town, there was quite a turnout with 30-40 chocolate lovers stopping by to listen, talk and taste between noon and 2 pm.
It is clear that there are many Columbians who are genuinely excited at the opportunity to learn about chocolate, and to taste some of the different bars that are available locally. We talked a bit about how chocolate is made, the history of chocolate, and then discussed how to taste chocolate to best appreciate it. Then came the really fun part: Everyone had the opportunity to taste a number of bars that World Harvest carries including Guittard Ambaja 65%, Scharffen Berger 70%, Valrhona Noir Amer 71%, ChocoVic Maragda 70%, Lindt Excellence 70%, and of course, the first bar from the Patric Chocolate line of fine dark chocolate that is made right here in Columbia, MO.
All in all, it was a wonderful time, and it certainly was a pleasure to speak with so many of the chocoholics of Columbia about all things chocolate.
For those of you who weren't able to make it, note that we will be doing another presentation and tasting at the same location in late November after the craziness of Thanksgiving has come and gone. So, keep checking back with the Patric Chocolate blog, or even subscribe to our blog feed to have new posts as soon as they are available.
Finally, for those of you who were able to make it to the tasting we'd really love to hear from you about your experience with Patric Chocolate. A lot of you had some very nice things to say in person, but it was busy and we didn't get to talk to everyone, so if you could put your comments into an e-mail and send them off to News@Patric-Chocolate.com, we would very much like to read them!
