点评:Your reviewer is very sceptical re tours like this, and very early on he felt all his fears were about to come true but then........ talk about 'zero to hero' the next 2 hours or so were brilliant!!
Our guide for the afternoon was Cesar, really good and often bringing out his inner 'gameshow host'.
The whole process from tree to bar was thoroughly enjoyable, highlights being preparing and grinding the beans, using a bike and an old style mincing machine (see the photo to the left) to turn them into a powder. I loved Cesar and his drum, and the chocolate song during some of the preparation, superb.
I never knew they added so much sugar, but it's really bitter if they do not. Adding salt, chilli, coconut, cinnamon, amongst other to see what it tasted like.
Finally making a batch to take away, (eat quick once they take it out of the freezer, or it will melt rather quickly!!) and a few extra's for our Tour Guides (I think they got the Chilli ones!)
I you do one Chocolate tour, when you visit Arenal/La Fortuna, do this one. What an afternoon. Highly Recommended.
翻译:您的评论者对这样的旅行非常怀疑,很早以前他就觉得他所有的恐惧都即将成真,但后来......谈到“从零到英雄”,接下来的 2 个小时左右非常精彩!!
我们下午的导游是 Cesar,他真的很棒,经常展现他内心的“游戏节目主持人”。
从树到酒吧的整个过程非常愉快,亮点是准备和研磨豆子,使用自行车和老式绞肉机(见左侧照片)将它们变成粉末。我喜欢 Cesar 和他的鼓,以及准备过程中的巧克力歌曲,非常棒。
我从来不知道他们加了这么多糖,但如果不加的话真的很苦。加入盐、辣椒、椰子、肉桂等,看看味道如何。
最后做了一批带走(从冰箱里拿出来后赶紧吃,不然很快就会融化!!)还给我们的导游多做了一些(我想他们拿的是辣椒味的!)
如果你参加一次巧克力之旅,当你参观阿雷纳尔/拉福图纳时,就参加这个吧。真是一个美好的下午。强烈推荐。
