Originally, I am from the Zoque ethnic community in the Isthmus Region, which is a part of the Oaxaca state. I hail from a family whose traditions revolve around chocolate. I am eager to share my experiences and the knowledge I have garnered over time about cocoa. You will have an opportunity to savor how cocoa’s taste changes based on the preparation.

Great small group workshop - Really nice workshop with tonnes of information and history about cacao. Lots and lots of tastings and you get to tweak things to your own recipe. Delicious snacks, lots of chocolate and yummy hot chocolate drink to your liking. Highly recommended

Must Do For Chocolate Lovers - The Cocoa Chocolate Experience was amazing. We were educated on the different varieties of Cocoa, traditional vs commercial processes, its sustainable growth and some of the history. We learned why some chocolates are bitter and why some are more sweet. We even got to taste varieties of different hot chocolate including a special chocolate desert at the end. Would definitely recommend!

Informative and enjoyable must do for chocolate lovers - An informative, fun and enjoyable experience for chocolate lovers! We learned about and tasted different cacao varieties, learned how cacao is prepared and used in Oaxaca and finally got to prepare our own cacao to drink and take home. The guide was friendly and the experience was well-paced. Highly recommend!

Outstandingly good vibes. - This class was fantastic for our family (including 2 thirteen year olds)! Azomalli was a wonderful, engaging teacher. Her passion and knowledge for chocolate and Oaxaca was infectious. Incredibly peaceful vibes throughout the whole experience and left feeling like we had a new friend. Would recommend to anyone, it was quite an experience.

Wonderful - highly recommend for chocolate lovers who also love learning! - I would recommend this experience to anyone. It was fantastic, and our whole family enjoyed it. We learned so much about chocolate and how different cacao varieties are prepared, and we got to try our hands at making chocolate. The founder is kind and taught us so much. Not to mention... it was so delicious!

Chocolate Fun - Our host, Ruth, was so knowledgeable about the history and cultural significance of cacao in the region. I brought my 5 year old daughter along. Our host was so kind and patient with her. We had so much fun tasting cacao and making chocolate! The next morning she begged me to take her back to the “chocolate class.” A core memory for sure.
