After taking a breather and then jumping headlong into the chocolate holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving through Valentines Day), I've re-imagined @Chocolopolis . It combines my love of chocolate with my love of educating. chocolopolis.com/blog/chocol…

One of the things I enjoy most is creating engaging chocolate experiences that illustrate how a bar of dark chocolate can taste like so much more than just chocolate. I hope you'll join me for a virtual #ValentinesDay class. Ticket deadline: Sunday! bit.ly/3ttcnaQ

A great article by @uncommoncacao that explains the challenges of cacao genetic terminology. Did you know that "criollo" simply means "native"? link.medium.com/T4xVwDow9cb

I have a virtual dilemma. Would you attend a chocolate tasting in the middle of a workday? This is the question I'm trying to answer to set up a virtual event w/a maker in another country. Can it be a "breakfast", "lunch" or "coffee" break, or does it need to be after work?

2/2 And the small retailers don't have negotiating power with FedEx, UPS, and USPS. Large retailers can sell cheaper and ship cheaper. Remember that next time you place an order and the shipping seems high.

1/2 Think the shipping charges on the chocolate you ordered from a small chocolate shop are high? Read @janetfletcherNV's interview with the owners of @jasperhillfarm Substitute "chocolate" for cheese & it's still accurate. bit.ly/2HnCA73

2/2 And let's not forget that small retailers do not have negotiating power with FedEx, UPS and USPS. Large retailers sell their product for less & their costs of shipping are less. Remember that next time you order from a small retailer & shipping costs seem high.
