Art of Making Cacao

If you love chocolate — and who doesn’t? — you will want to join Melissa Gomez, a cacao expert, for a uniquely delicious experience all about one of our favorite sweet indulgences. You will learn about the origins, uses, and spiritual significance of the cacao plant — the fruit of which provides our beloved chocolate — and its seeds. In addition, we will make chocolate to honor its sacred place in traditional Central and South American cultures.
