4.Zaandijk-Near Zaanse Schans Chocolate making demo & tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 13 reviews · 45 min · from $29Best value

At Kin & co. in Zaandijk, an English-speaking guide such as Ingmar shows you how cacao beans become chocolate and bonbons. Roast beans, operate the winnowing machine, taste cacao pulp and chocolate, then finish by making a Dutch truffle. The small atelier pairs neatly with Zaanse Schans.

“Leuke enthousiaste lieve gastvrije koppel . Alles weten we nu hoe chocola gemaakt wordt . Duurt ongeveer 1 uur je kan verschillende stukjes chocolade proeven en mag een truffel maken . Prijs van €15 ging later omhoog naar €25 want mijn col wilde het ook doen . Vond ze te duur en is toen niet gegaan . Ik vind €25 ook te duur voor wat je krijgt”
