Santa Barbara Chocolate works closely with very popular event planners like global events company Maritz Travel, destination experiences leader Allied PRA and global hospitality guru Colin Cowie for all kinds of international events and parties providing interactive chocolate tastings and gift boxes.

Santa Barbara Chocolate Cacao Bar
Expert “Chocolatier Docents” host the Cacao Bar, taking guests on a sensual, chocolate journey of discovery and helping them understand the difference between exotic and traditional chocolate. Presented in classic Mesoamerican style with a California flair, the no-passport-needed tasting trip of discovery gives party guests the chance to sample fragrant and colorful roasted cocoa beans and nibs, tiny bits of fermented, dried, roasted and crushed cocoa bean. The Cacao Bar displays several botanical types of cacao pods (Criollo, Forastero and Trinatario) from which all the world’s chocolate is derived.
In addition to the raw forms of chocolate, guests can taste high-quality couverture (solid) chocolate from exotic locations around the world. Guests will have fun comparing the flavor nuances of Indonesian dark chocolate to Costa Rican dark chocolate or Ghana milk chocolate to Borneo milk chocolate. Couvertures contain varying percentages of cocoa solids (the higher the percentage the darker the chocolate), which means only the adventurous will brave the robust 100% dark Ivory Coast chocolate. Miniature masterpieces of flavor and color, the chocolate truffle is the chocolatier’s highest art form, so pure and exquisite fresh cream chocolate truffles round out the indulgent Cacao Bar experience, an overflowing cornucopia of incredible aromas and flavors for the palate and the eye.
