"The tasting experience was amazing, I’ve never tasted chocolate in that way before and the homemade Bonbons especially were so good!"
This isn’t just a tasting — it’s a sensory journey.
We’ll explore chocolates made from award-winning, single origin cacao, sourced directly from small farmers who care for both their land and their people.
You’ll learn to recognize aromas, textures, and notes, just like in fine wine, but through the lens of pure cacao.
Our tasting takes place in our cozy Amsterdam atelier,
surrounded by the scent of chocolate, cacao and spices.

What makes this experience truly different is the chocolate itself.
We work exclusively with 100% slave-free cacao, sourced through Direct Trade relationships with farmers who grow their cacao in biodiverse environments.
Every chocolate you taste has been carefully selected, many of them are award-winning, and each tells its own story of origin, flavour and craftsmanship.
During the tasting, you’re guided personally by the founder of Cacao & Spice, sharing not just flavours, but the deeper story behind chocolate.
Practical details
The tasting takes approximately one hour and takes place in our shop in the historic centre of Amsterdam.
