Schokoladen Tester Level 1 Kurs - Certificate in Chocolate Tasting

You always wanted to become a chocolate connoisseur! Then this course is just right for you! Learn all about the different flavors chocolate can have and much more....

Fine chocolate is quickly becoming as refined as fine wine tasting. New micro-batch chocolate makers (micro-batches) and bars of new origins appear every month.

This course will methodically guide you through everything you need to know to immerse yourself in this new world of fine chocolate tasting, and from cocoa varieties to chocolate manufacturing methods, really get to know it all.

This basic level 1 course will take you through the basics of fine chocolate and the sensory elements used in chocolate tasting. The course involves tasting 9 or more bars of fine dark chocolate from different origins or a mixture of bars of fine dark chocolate tasted under different conditions to gain an understanding of aroma, length, texture and flavor. We also explore some of the potential problems and flaws in the chocolate, such as over-roasting, mold growth, poor fermentation, or storage issues.

The course concludes with a 30-minute multiple-choice exam based on the course content. Upon achieving the minimum score, you will receive your certificate. The course includes a light lunch.
