Maak je eigen Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour
Beschrijving
Toen ik voor het eerst begon met reizen, genoot ik echt van de context die die ouderwetse reisgidsen boden, hoe de geschiedenis van een land, een stad en een volk verbonden waren met wat daar was gebeurd. Ik was verbijsterd toen ik me realiseerde dat ons eten een soortgelijke reis heeft gemaakt en ik wilde meer bieden dan een les die je leert spelen met gesmolten chocolade, dus hier is het, een hands on entry in de wereld van chocolade maken, van de boom tot de reep en daarbuiten. Oh dit is allemaal vegan, pure chocolade is vegan maar het zal smaken naar kerst dus melkchocolade fans, dit zal een openbaring zijn.

My husband and I were looking for a unique experience close to the Falmouth Port and Nick did not disappoint. Although we were an hour early (ship time instead of island time) Nick accomodated us. I cannot overstate the richness of the history lesson we received about the history of chocolate in Jamaica and thFalmouth Chocolate Factory. Njck is a fantastic story teller and very passionate about cultural contributions. Chocolate making is an art, and an artist Nick is. We tasted chocolate, and made our own bars with add-ons such as dried mango and almonds. We had a window view of the factory in progress. The factory is inside the port gates, so cruisers can easily access it. The walk is very short from the ship. There are stairs and an elevator to access the second level of the air-conditioned building. We picked up our chocolate a couple hours later from Nick's cart at the street level. There, he was educating other customers. We purchased more chocolate and picked up our specialty bars. Please consider purchasing experiences that support local vendors, businesses, and commerce. The Falmouth Chocolate Factory is definitely a jewel of the port.
A group of us did an amazing tasting experience where we learnt about the history of cacao in Jamaica from the earliest indigenous Taino people to its role in the present day. Our hosts Nick and Marta taught us the dynamics of chocolate making from bean to bar and we got to sample single origin chocolates from cocoa estates around the island. We also sampled beverages made from chocolate including a traditional tea and a modern cocktail. The experience was an oral and gustatory delight! A must do if you are a chocolate lover.
What an awesome journey through Jamaicas cocoa history. Nick brings the rich history of chocolate in this region to light in a very informative and engaging way. Everyone knows about coffe from Jamaica but everyone should really know about cocoa too and with Nicks family history steeped in cocoa farming and his BBC journalistic background there is noone better to tell this story. The best part is you get to taste the amazing chocolate too!
