While you wait for your cacao to harden, make and enjoy pisco sours with us! We will also sample various chocolates from our own house. Finally, go home with your own DIY chocolate bar and a whole new perspective on cacao, most importantly, the relationship between cacao and preservation, and how to use your choice of consumption to change the world of chocolate with us one bar at a time.
