10 FINE Chocolatiers

Chocolate

The mother-daughter team of Barbara Noble and Renee Riani are ready to acquaint you with the glories of chocolate. The pair from Chicago, Ill. are on a mission to introduce the world at large to all there is to learn and love about their favorite confection by hosting chocolate-tasting parties.

Chocolate Facts:

  • Some park district and community-based programs have added chocolate tasting to their lists of entertainment and educational events.

  • The quality of dark and light chocolate is controlled by the percentage of cocoa in the mix. The higher the percentage, the darker the chocolate.

  • All the world's chocolate comes from cocoa beans, which grow in pods on cacao trees. These trees typically grow within 20 degrees of the equator.

  • Chocolate has been shown to contain beneficial levels of antioxidants. Eating chocolate in moderation may offer healthy side effects.

  • Some bed and breakfasts offer chocolate-tasting weekend packages.
