Chocolate Appreciation 101 at Heavenly Chocolates
It was last Saturday, March 28, when Mr. Benjamin Pedro welcomed the hubby and me, alongside other chocoholics to Heaven a.k.a. Heavenly Chocolates. He conducted a very interesting seminar on the dynamics of chocolates, where it come from and basically its various different classes.
Heavenly Chocolates made way to my first ever relatively comprehensive type of Chocolates 101 subject. I couldn’t believe it took me 32 years before learning all those things, to think that I have always considered myself to be a hopeless chocoholic. My favor on chocolates have always leaned either to the dark ones or the Belgiany, smooth types. Sure I can tolerate all those in between but this particular sweet tooth loves the strong flavor of dark ones. I guess, as a person who is passionate about healthy stuff, it came when I first learned that dark ones are the healthiest of the bunch.
I figured then that smooth chocolates have a handful of other different types in its category. Boy was I for a great and sweet chocolatey spin!
The Chocolate Appreciation seminar got us to taste several kinds of chocolates and Mr. Pedro had us distinguish each type with its name. It’s just the most interesting that as chocolate as everything is, there is always a distinction of one type to another. With all the chocolate discussions Mr. Pedro tackled, I so made sure I got most of it documented. I cut each video to 10 mins. each to make sure that I get them posted on YouTube without fuss.
As a big migraine sufferer (and when I say big, I seriously mean BIG- it comes at a regular time every month), I really ought to be thankful that chocolate is not one of the things that trigger my migraine attacks. Cheese, lack of sleep, hunger, citrus fruits, bright yellow lights, but never chocolates. On the contrary, chocolate tops my list of comfort foods. I am so thrilled to know that in this side of the world, my cravings for chocolates can be satisfied right within the area of Roces Avenue in Quezon City, which is better known as Heavenly Chocolates.
