Summary

Welcome to the final chapter of Wild Chocolate! This week, we dive into the actual experience of eating REAL chocolate. Why does it have an almost drug-like effect on so many of us? And what can a chocolatier do to make that experience pop? And, you know, where can I get me some? (To start go to www.stettler-chocolate.com)

For seven weeks, we’ve dragged you past floods and jungles, electric eels and narco traffickers and this week, we’re not gonna do any of that. No dangers, no scandals, just bliss. So kick back and relax. This is desert.

Want some of this god-level chocolate? Kaleidoscope has joined forces with Luisa Abram and Stettler Chocolate to make a special box to go along with this very podcast.. Just visit: www.stettler-chocolate.com to order your wild chocolate today. Like what you hear? Follow us @kscope_nyc on Twitter and Instagram.

And that experience left me longing for the independence, the small players who are

0:52.7

crafting really good stuff out of sustainably sourced beans.

0:56.8

Up to now on the show, we've been focusing on the handful of people working with Truly

1:00.1

Wild Kakao, which is kind of a unique situation.

1:04.1

And of course there are also hundreds of producers around the world making amazing chocolate

1:08.5

from the small supply of high quality farm varieties.

And as a professional journalist, I felt it would be irresponsible of me not to familiarize

1:27.3

about 300 bars on its shelves, displayed like fine art.

1:31.5

And now he's talking me through them as he grabs the greatest hits.

1:35.5

And soon there's a stack of bars at the register, and we've even sucked in the woman running

1:47.4

the store.

1:49.0
