A gourmet's guide to chocolate tasting

STEP ONE

Snap it

Experience the texture by listening for the snap. A good-quality, properly tempered chocolate should make a crisp snapping sound when you break it.

STEP TWO

Smell the aromas

Meticulously crafted chocolate reveals an incredibly complex scent. You’ll pick up notes of toasted nuts, roasted coffee, dried fruits or wine…..

STEP THREE

Savor the melt

Place the chocolate in your mouth. Resist the urge to chew and eat. Let it melt slowly. High quality chocolate has a velvety, smooth, and creamy texture as it melts.

STEP FOUR

Taste the Flavor

Notice how the flavor changes. Have fun in experiencing fruity, nutty, flora, fudgy, earthy, roasty, tangy or spicy notes.
