TESTIMONIALS

Here are a few of the testimonials that we have received. All of our testimonials can be found on our website:

"Replace, or rather combine, your wine flights with your chocolate flights and you will be happy you did so. Glenn's Chocotastery provides the perfect opportunity for chocolate lovers to become chocolate experts. This chocolate tasting experience makes for a fun date activity, social hour with the girls, or even a fun mother-daughter day. Glenn is very knowledgeable of the topic and his admiration for its craft is infectious. The chocolate bars are not a snack, but have become a collectors item. It has become a hobby to analyze the packaging, place of origin, and chocolate content of the chocolate bars. As if chocolate couldn't be loved any more, after Glenn's Chocotastery, I now have a new appreciation for craft chocolate." ~ Eileen R., Kendall Park, NJ

"We loved our chocolate tasting with Glenn. He really knew everything about how to make chocolate and the whole process from tree to bar. Then we got to taste some really good chocolates." ~ Seth G. & Rachel H., Livingston, NJ

"The Chocotastery's Virtual Chocolate Tasting was a great experience for my husband and I to enjoy together. While we both enjoy dark chocolate, it was so intriguing to learn the process from bean to bar. Glenn was an excellent host and provided lots of interesting details for us. The best part though, was being able to try unique bars and being able to identified underlying flavors with the group! We would highly recommend this tasting to family and friends." ~ Jessica H., Coralville, IA

"I thought that Glenn's presentation was very well put together and executed! It was really informative, educational, and interesting. It was clear that Glenn really has a vested passion for the craft of making chocolate and it made for a genuinely enjoyable experience. Also, I thought the chocolate bars were very good too! I really like to consider flavors and focus on the process of making things so the entire event really appealed to me. Would definitely do again and I am grateful for the experience! Also, the Moka bar was immaculate! Thank you!!" ~ Karen G.
