Chocolate Tasting Party Kit

Oliver Kita has created a unique Chocolate Tasting Party Kit. What a great new and interesting way to enjoy an evening or afternoon with family and friends, tasting various gourmet single origin chocolates. It is also the perfect hostess gift and a great ice-breaker. All of us who work with Oliver have had so much fun with this kit — and we've learned a lot about chocolates that even we didn't know.
