Melt and Seventypercent.com present a tasting event to celebrate the cacao of Ecuador, famous for it’s ‘Nacional’ variety (also known as ‘Arriba’) and as the world’s largest producer of fine cacao beans.
Martin Christy of Seventypercent.com will introduce the event with a session on how to taste fine chocolate. Martin will also illustrate the typical notes of Ecuador through chocolate from different bean to bar makers.
Lourdes Delgado
Lourdes Delgado, a leading light in Ecuador’s cacao industry, will then present an insight into the lives of farmers and exporters in cacao growing countries, the challenges they face and the opportunities created by producing their own chocolate.
Lourdes will also present her own chocolate brand, Chchukululu, packaged in colourful and fashionable indigenous materials, complimenting her own hand made jewellery.
Lourdes will also tell us the story of her cacao bean dress!
There will also be the chance to try some specially made Melt delicacies made exclusively for the evening, all served with a glass of wine.

Hello ,
I like this frontpicture of the Melt shop, are there some other pictures from the shop inside? I do have a shop in Belgium where we sell the best origin chocolate from all over the world. Whe have the intensions to restyling the shop next year and maybe this could be usefull.
Thanks and lots of succes with the business.
