If you've never been to this tour, i would recommend. it was a fun and tasty tour! You will sit in a room for about an hour and listen the history of the company and founders and mostly learn about chocolate. The rooms was filled with rich chocolate aroma from the factory. how rich was it? oh gosh, i feel like i was soaked in cacao bed, almost you feel like you are drinking wine....feel tipsy from the smell....then you will have a chance to taste their signature dark chocolates, 70%, 60% and 41% milk. wait about 6--8 sec until the chocolate is melt in your mouth to taste full flavors. most of people will notice pepper, cherry, berry, wine, sometimes citrus....their milk chocolate has caramel and scotch flavors, which makes their milk chocolate was unique....
interesting factor for chocolate from this tour i learned was about its impact on brain, neuron cells. chocolate is known for energy food because it stimulates brain, however it's not from caffeine, it's from anandamide, which acts like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in marijuana....
because of many health benefits in chocolate, FDA changed chocolate to functional food category from the snack food 2 years ago. so now chocolate doesn't have sales tax!
if you are a chocolate lover, this place is really worth of stopping by....at the end of tour, you can also stop by cafe cacao where you can see many interesting menu....
