WCNC Chocolate TASTING AT CHOCOLATE COVERED!Friday, January 28th, 2011
Over the past few years, more and more high-end chocolate manufacturers have been introducing their own bean-to-bar chocolates -- they start with the cocoa bean and take it all the way to the finished product. (For a great explanation of the bean-to-bar process, click
here.)
Join us after work on Friday, January 28th in the heart of Noe Valley along with your fellow Wharton alumni for a special
Wharton Club members-only chocolate tasting, which will include a selection of Bean-to-Bar chocolates! Our host and the owner of Chocolate Covered, Jack Epstein will lay out for us an
a wide variety of samples that will include:
- High cocoa content
- Single origins
- Exotic spices
- High quality milk chocolate
- Micro roasteries
At the same time, we'll also have the opportunity to try virtually any other chocolate in the shop . . . and Chocolate Covered has by far the largest selection of chocolates from all over the world that you will find anywhere in San Francisco. (
Talk about being a kid in a candy shop!) So if there's something that catches our eye on the shelves, we'll be doing some tasting and exploring there, too.
