We held our last Chocolate 101 class on May 31 in our production space in the Dogpatch. At the time, Cam led our production with Caitlin and Cynthia by his side. I can’t tell you how much has changed in nine months! We’re settled into our beautiful cafe and factory at 740 Valencia Street, and we’re ready to invite guests in to learn about our process.

Our first Chocolate 101 class will be next Thursday, February 28th, from 7-9 PM in our factory on Valencia Street. Tickets are available here. The class is exactly what it claims — a detailed foundation of chocolate knowledge. We’ll talk about chocolate-making generally and our process specifically. We’ll cover the different types of chocolate, their ingredients, and a tour of our process. It’s a fun night, full of information and nearly too much chocolate.

Do you have dates for future classes? I’d love to treat my mom on her next visit….!
Hi Jessica!
We have a class scheduled for Tuesday, March 26th. I haven’t picked the dates for the following months, but we’ll run the class once monthly. When will your mom be in town?
Please let me know if I can help with anything else!
Thanks,
Alice
Cam, can you plant the idea in Mike’s head that he should buy me a ticket to one of your classes for my birthday? 😉
Peggy, haha, no problem. I’ll see if a little birdie can spread the word 🙂
I will be in San Fran visiting my daughter Friday April 26 through Monday April 29 departing Tuesday April 30…Any chance you will be offering a class at this time… we would both be
interested in the class…Thank you Sam
Thanks for your response, Alice! See my mom’s note above. She’ll be here April 26-30.

Hi Jessica,
I still haven’t chosen a date for April, but it will likely be during that exact window. I’ll put the tickets on our website at the end of this month. Please let me know if I can help with anything else!
All the best,
Alice
Great! I’ll keep an eye on the site 🙂
Hi Jessica,
I wanted to let you know that I just posted tickets in our online store for a class on Tuesday, April 30th. I hope you can come!
All the best,
Alice
Hello,
I’m a cocoa plantation owner in Colombia, South America.
I have 38000 trees and am starting to get a pretty big harvest.
I read your book and am making my own chocolate from what I learned there. People here are loving it.
This wonderful acceptance of my chocolate has made me want to learn more about how to make a really kick ass chocolate bar.
I am therefore writing to ask what course you suggest I should take in order to learn how to make a professional chocolate bar that I can sell in the Colombian market.
Thanks for your book and I am looking forward to visiting your facilities in the USA.
Best regards to your entire team.
Omar
