La Iguana Chocolate

Our educational and interactive chocolate tour serves as an introduction to the world of cacao and chocolate. We will take your through all the stages involved in chocolate production from fruits on the tree through to the final chocolates.

Taste the cacao at all stages of the process and see how the flavour changes to become less fruity and more like chocolate. We encourage hand on participation and make it our goal to test your love of chocolate with free samples from start to finish.

Day: Monday to Saturday - By appointment only
(preferably at least 2 days notice - we will always do our best to accommodate you but please bear in mind we are a fully working farm and at times essential work on the farm must take priority)

Duration: 2 1/2 - 3 hours

Led by Jorge, experienced cacao grower and chocolate maker, our personalised intensive chocolate day is aimed at those working within, or thinking about starting out in the chocolate industry. We are available to answer all your questions in detail whether they may be about tempering methods or cacao varieties.

Like our short tour, you will have the opportunity to see all stages of the process on our organic cacao farm, the opportunity to help harvest may also be available depending on the month of your visit. The aim of this tour is to tailor it to your specific area of interest whilst giving you an overview of all processes involved in getting from tree to truffle or bar.

Lunch, evening meal, one night private accommodation and breakfast the following day are all included in the price of this class
