WHAT AWAITS YOU
The aim of the event is to immerse participants in the history, culture, farming traditions and species diversity of cocoa. The aim of the tasting is to show that chocolate is not just sweet cocoa, but a whole palette of flavours and aromas created by nature and revealed at our TЁRT KAKAO factory in Tallinn.
The main idea is to develop a culture of conscious choice of chocolate for work and personal consumption.

- Stages of transforming cocoa into chocolate
