I thoroughly enjoyed this chocolate experience. I learned so much more about cacao. This wonderful cacao tree and it's fruit that contains cacao beans that get turned into tasty chocolate. Nature has provided us with chocolate! 🍫 Making the chocolate bars was so much fun as well. They tasted delicious! I actually felt like a chocolatier for 2 hours.
From pouring the chocolate and spreading it into a mold, to placing it in a refrigerator and placing some toppings like nuts, coffee and cinnamon.
I had 75% cacao for my chocolate bars which tasted balanced, not too bitter or sweet. The host Lucia and Mauricio were well informed and showed me the entire process for making chocolate. I highly recommend doing this tour if you want a fun, tasty experience.
One of the best experiences I have done in Costa Rica. Wish all the best to the owners and looking forward seeing you on YouTube
Decadent chocolate on the pricey side
OMG, this was the best experience in all my years visiting San Jose or Costa Rica for that matter. Mauricio and Lucy really take their high end chocolate to the next level for a tourist. I was lucky enough to have them to myself today and they are uber friendly and will take you back to the origins and many stages of the cocoa seeds to the finished product. It’s a hands on experience making your own bars and picking fillings or additives like almonds or baked banana pieces. It’s a must do experience! What a treat to work with the actual owners. 5 stars for Tapir Chocolates!
Had a truly Gr8 experience learning the history of cocoa & making chocolate in Costa Rica! It tasted yummy too! Lol.💙🌎
