Single Origin Chocolate Tasting from Jeff Abella, CEO & Co-Founder of Moka Origins

Join us for a guided chocolate tasting experience where you will expand your chocolate palate with a flight of five single-origin chocolate bars. This tasting experience will be lead by Jeff Abella of Moka Origins, a specialty bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in Pennsylvania. Jeff will "spill the beans" about Moka's cacao bean sourcing, particularly why they have chosen to build relationships with farmers from various countries. During the class we will taste the 5 different chocolates and learn why each flavor profile tastes uniquely different from origin to origin. This tasting class will teach us the basics of flavor and improve our overall ability to identify and characterize the flavors that we are experiencing while enjoying fine chocolate.
