Welcome to my chocolate blog! This is where my curiosity for chocolate and cacao comes together with exploring, tasting, and understanding what’s really going on behind the scenes. And who knows, one day I might make my own chocolate…..

What can you expect? I’ll write about my personal experiences with chocolate and cacao: chocolate tours, tastings, workshops, and how I obtained my IICCT chocolate tasting certificates. 

A key part of this blog is the science behind chocolate. I follow developments in the research community and summarise scientific articles in plain English. What happens during fermentation? Why does roasting change flavour so much? What do we actually know, and where are things still unclear? I don’t aim to give definitive answers to everything, but wish to share what research tells us so far. Without jargon and without pretending it’s simpler than it is.

This blog is not about reviews, trends, or “the best chocolate ever”. It’s about understanding and experiencing chocolate and cacao, one bite at a time. Taste carefully, stay curious, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Chocolate has far more depth than most of us realise.
