What Can I Expect
Go on a journey with Hotel Chocolat from bean to bar on these
brilliant chocolate experiences! Spend a couple of hours at one of
Hotel Chocolat's very own chocolate schools to learn how cocoa
beans get transformed into the glossy bars of chocolate that Hotel
Chocolat is renowned for.
It's going to be a taste and smell sensation on these workshops. We
all know chocolate tastes so good, but what do cocoa beans actually
smell like? You'll be immersed in the world of cocoa during these
experiences, so you'll be tasting and smelling all the way through
the chocolate-making process.
The chocolate laboratory is a special place. The vibe is very much
one of a cocoa plantation, with the mix of metal and wood, with
hurricane lamps and hessian sacks. In fact, Hotel Chocolat owns
it's own plantation in Saint Lucia, so that's how they know they
are getting the very best cocoa beans to create their renowned and
much-loved chocolate range.
And it's this process you'll be learning about. The Hotel Chocolat
conching machines whirr away, whilst your chocolatier host explains
how their chocolate is made. But you're not just here to listen -
you're here to make your very own chocolate bar from roasted cocoa
beans! Time to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in.
As your expert chocolatier explains, the purest chocolate is just
cocoa beans, some sugar and maybe a little milk. So you'll be given
your own stash of freshly roasted Hotel Chocolat cocoa beans to
grind by hand. The smell at this point is incredible - earthy and
intense. As the cocoa powder separates from the cocoa butter, you
start to get a paste and you're well on the way to making your
bar!
Time for some tempering to bring the paste up to temperature to get
that perfect crystal structure, giving it that smooth and glossy
finish. Once poured into the moulds (with a little bash to get the
air out) you're done. Time to reflect with a glass of bubbly on how
you took cocoa beans and made them into an actual chocolate bar.
Chocolate set and ready, you'll leave this Hotel Chocolat bean to
bar experience with your very own hand-made slab of chocolate.
Yum!
