Chocolate Flavor Note Recognition Development modules
Unlike some of our other senses, where recognition can come very easily, like naming a colour, aroma is much more connected with emotion and our memories. This makes it much harder to easily name what we’re tasting, even for advanced tasters.
We have probably all had the experience of trying a chocolate (or wine, or coffee) and recognising a flavor note but not being able to put a name to it, or sometimes there’s a note that’s just completely new to us or we only taste it in chocolate. Improving your ability to recognize and name flavor notes comes through practice and frequent chocolate tasting.
This development module provides a structured space for flavor note recognition, with tutored smelling and tasting or aroma and flavor samples and tasting of origin chocolate samples containing the notes.
This module is supplemental to our Chocolate Tasting program and will form part of the learning development that will be used for our more advanced level programs.
