Amsterdam Chocolate Tasting — A Journey Through the World’s Finest Cacao
Taste your way through the origins of chocolate
— from fruity Peruvian cacao to deep and nutty Madagascan beans.
Guided by Salomé Trip-Wagenhuis, founder and artisan chocolate maker at Cacao & Spice.
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.
Whether you’re a lifelong chocolate lover or just curious about what real chocolate tastes like, this experience will change the way you see every chocolate forever!
Our shop is located within 10 min. walking from Central station, in the middle of the old city center!

REVIEW
¨The shop was super cozy. The tasting experience was amazing, I’ve never tasted chocolate in that way before and the homemade Bonbons especially were so good!
Salomé is a fantastic storyteller who creates an amazing atmosphere in the shop. You can tell both her and her husband is truly dedicated to their work.
I would definitely recommend you giving this chocolate tasting a try!¨
