Description
Join Seneca Klassen, founder and co-owner of Bittersweet, for a mouthwatering evening dedicated to everyone’s favorite sweet treat, chocolate. Klassen will share information about the botany and cultural history of chocolate and then take participants on a “behind-the-scenes” visit to the Conservatory’s hidden treasure – a fruiting cacao tree in a greenhouse usually off limits to the public. While participants nibble on five varieties of Bittersweet’s unique bean-to-bar Origin Line chocolates, Klassen will discuss the importance of the post-harvesting process and quality finishing.Seneca Klassen is the founder and co-owner of Bittersweet. He manages product development for all of Bittersweet’s drinking chocolates and the Bittersweet Origins line. Klassen also runs Bittersweet’s community outreach, including guided tastings and public presentations on the natural and cultural history of cacao and chocolate. He is currently establishing a cacao plantation on the North shore of Oahu.
