When Ryan Cheney was introduced to raw chocolate on a beach in Thailand, it was love at first bite. After spending a year learning the bean-to-bar basics, he teamed up with friend and fellow gastronome Nate Hodge and the pair founded Raaka Chocolate to delight New Yorkers with one-of-a-kind sweets.
Raaka builds each artisan chocolate bar from scratch with single-origin cocoa in its Brooklyn factory. Creative methods range from steaming cacao nibs over simmering red wine and aging cacao in bourbon casks to making bars with whole coconut shreds, smoked chai, or ghost peppers. Raaka always brings out the best in each bean.
Your afternoon starts with a tour that will allow you to see firsthand how beans are transformed into distinctive, delicious chocolate bars. Then, you'll taste raw cacao from around the world and compare unique traits of each growing region.
Following the tasting, you'll be given the opportunity to get creative as you load the factory’s stone grinders with your choice of raw ingredients from the Raaka Innovation Lab.
Finally, you'll finish by pouring your concoction into molds to create your own bespoke handcrafted chocolate bars.
Your $39 Chocolate Making Class (a $75 Value) Includes:
Yelpers go gaga for coco at Raaka, giving Raaka Chocolate 4.5 stars from over 70 reviews including:
"Got a pulsd for the chocolate making class and was very impressed. You really get to learn all of the details of how they make their chocolate and the history of how they got started. Then you get to pour and flavor 3 of your own bars, which alone are worth the price of admission."
"I did the chocolate-making class that includes a tour of the factory. It was a really great experience... We learned all about chocolate, and we even made our own chocolate bars. Plus got to taste samples and develop our taste buds a bit!"
"The tour was amazing! And the chocolate is so good! Can't wait to come back for the cafe."
May purchase as many classes as you like for personal use or for gifting.
Classes are offered every Friday (7-9pm) and every Saturday & Sunday (2-4pm & 5-7pm).
Expires on Sunday February 25, 2018.
