‘Chocolate Flavours’ – monthly flavour journeys

Our new series of monthly tastings exploring the flavour notes of fine chocolate.

Whole spices
N

ew for 2012, an inspiring season of tasting events exploring the many flavour notes of fine chocolate. Each month we pick a classic flavour group, like citrus, spice or forest fruits and explore the flavours and nuances of each group in detail.

The Marylebone

The Marylebone Pub

In the relaxed comfort of a quiet room in The Marylebone pub, London, we take you through a chocolate tasting and flavour experience.

With a little history, sample flavours in their natural and try special treats and cover all the flavour nuances while enlivening and educating the palate.

We’ll start each tasting with a specially flavoured hot chocolate, with an optional dash of rum or liquor for those seeking an extra hit, and finish off with a specially created cocktail, in both alcoholic and ‘virgin’ variations.

Powdered spicesChocolate Flavours is both fun and educational and makes a great early evening treat for couples, connoisseurs or the merely indulgent.
