“Get your cacao passport ready for this luxurious escape.”
Order now to get this Tasting Tour, all packaged in Oliver’s signature coral boxes.

The bottom box contains the Chocolate tour of 5 countries: Madagascar, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Ghana. There are 8 tasting squares for each of the 5 countries (total of 40 tasting squares). Each country has its own distinctive flavor palate and cacao percentages range from 64% to 72%. Oliver includes tasting notes for each country, along with his personal notes on how to appreciate and taste chocolate.

The middle box contains 8 dark chocolate ganaches made with 72% dark chocolate from Venezuela, considered by many experts to be one of the finest producers of cacao. This dark, intense, dramatic taste is very popular with Oliver’s patrons.

The top coral box contains 8 tasting squares of “70% Grand Cao” organic chocolate. This is the definitive taste of organic chocolate sought after by connoisseurs

The rich lands on either side of the Sambirano River in northern Madagascar develop red acidulous notes in fruits and aromas that are unique to "Trinitario" beans. The chocolate presented is a composition of rate "Criollo" and "Trinitario" beans.	The island with the highest elevation in the West Indies produces "Trinitario" cocoa beans from very old plantations. Discover upon first taste flavors of roasted almonds which develop into notes of candied yellow-fruit.
Experience delicate floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom give way to a long finish of refined bitterness and woody flavors. Tasting these percentages will help you to develop a sense for aromatic floral notes as they progress into the strong base flavors of cocoa.	This chocolate is made from rare cocoa beans and can be compared to great wines with high tannins and a long lasting finish on the palate. Tasting these percentages provides a definitive and distinctive first taste of Venezuelan chocolate, graduating to a complex and intensely evocative and prolonged finish at the 85% level.
	In the southern hot and sunny region of Ghana, growing cocoa trees has been a tradition for over a century. Distinguished by a subtle acidity that allows a note of round chocolate warmth to develop followed by a soft and sweet spiciness.
