Smooth, silky, tantalizing drips. There’s a lot to love in this scrumptious-looking shortbread cookie, and we mean literally. What’s hiding inside that layer of luscious chocolate? Dulce de leche, that’s what, and the folks at Taza Chocolate in Somerville provide the scoop on their alfajores cookies in a recent chocolate blog.
If you’re intrigued by this local company’s story and want to see for yourself how they produce their stone-ground organic chocolate, Taza is holding an Open House at their Somerville factory on Saturday, December 5th from 10-6 PM. Taza will be offering free tours, samples of their chocolates and sips of hot chocolate, too. You’ll see up-close and personal Taza’s candy-apple red roaster (we’ve seen it…it’s big, bad and beautiful) and its vintage molinos. And who doesn’t want to learn about the winnowing process? It’s enough to give the whole family chocolate dreams. And the whole family is invited.
“Here & Now” and “Radio Boston” visited Taza last year. PRK posted the links so you can hear and see more.
Wow! That sounds like so much fun… if only I didn’t have to work. I hope there’s another event like this at some point.
Taza does hold related events, Megan. Check out their homepage–News and Events are listed right there. Have fun! http://www.tazachocolate.com/
