Congratulations to Brittany Shutts! Brittany won a Taza Chocolate Mexicano Sampler by tweeting about our upcoming tour of the Taza Chocolate factory in Somerville.
We hope you enjoy the chocolate, Brittany!
Just because the sampler has been won doesn’t mean the fun is over. There are still 10 spots left for our tour and tasting with Taza. Sign up now to hold your spot (it’s only $15!).

Learn all about how chocolate is made with Taza Chocolate and the Culinary Guild of New England. Plus, tweet us for a chance to win a sampler of delicious Mexican-style chocolate. Details below.
Chocolate. You love it, you eat it, you give it as gifts…but do you know how it’s made? Why is one chocolate smooth while other is crumbly? Why is some more mild and some more acidic?
On Thursday, November 1 at 5:30pm, we will be touring the Taza Chocolate factory in Somerville, MA to learn more about chocolate and how it’s made. We’ll learn about Taza as a business as well as what makes their Mexican-style chocolate so different and special. And, not to be forgotten, we’ll taste samples of their chocolates and a special Mexian-style hot chocolate.
