Chasing Chocolate Around The World

Molly Thompson

Chocolate is one of the greatest pleasures in the world, we can’t resist it and as human beings we’ve famously loved it since 450BC. Supermarkets and brands are always constantly finding new ways to reinvent and revitalise it, with new flavours and ingredients. However, it’s an experience that goes deeper than just tasting it, so we invite you to explore the wide range of exciting chocolatey experiences available all over the world.

Grenada

Our first chocolate experience can be found at Belmont Estate, the Caribbean’s finest Agri-tourism experience. Belmont Estate offers a so-called bean to bar experience in an authentic 17th century plantation.  With the finest luxury and organic cocoa, it’s a unique and deeply rich experience. Try your hand at making your own chocolate as well as learning all about the richly unique journey chocolate goes on, from harvesting organic beans.

Bali

Bali has so much to offer for every kind of chocaholic- why not visit the Ubud Raw Chocolate factory in Ubud? They create organic, raw cacao, vegan chocolate with flavours ranging from goji berries, mint or nuts. If your chocolate addiction goes further than just eating, many places in Bali offer chocolate themed spa treatments. In Seminyak for example, Bali Spa offers a special chocolate-themed spa package. Packages can include a massage with natural cocoa cream, followed by chocolate/cinnamon body scrub and topped off with a creamy hot chocolate bath! Junglegold Factory even offers Pod Masterclasses in which you can follow a chocolate-making workshop and become an expert chocolate artisan. You can choose a gift box, specially pick your chocolate, select your toppings and start creating. Also if you have the willpower to save them, these boxes make a perfect gift for a loved one.
