An incredible opportunity to learn about cocoa its origins and flavors. - Our experience was excellent, from trying the different types of cocoa and mixing it with different ingredients like cinnamon and chili. Even learn about the history of where each of these types of cocoa comes from. I would fully recommend this experience for anyone visiting Oaxaca and wanting to learn about chocolate. After the experience we could taste our chocolate in water or milk. And we also took the extra chocolate. We just need to go back and try the experience of making the chocolate bars.

Wonderful experience - We went to this chocolate making class yesterday. We have a 2 year old so we were a bit apprehensive about keeping her occupied during the class. But it went so well we could not have asked for a better experience. The space was relaxing. The class was fun and interesting. And our daughter absolutely loved Ingrid and Ruth. We definitely recommend this class.
