My job had a virtual chocolate tasting as a fundraiser and it went wonderfully! The variety of chocolates sent were unique and the explanations from Geoseph about where each chocolate came from and the differences between them were so interesting! it taught me so much I didn't know about the history and process of chocolate and I now will be searching for Ecuadorian chocolate over others because of what I tasted!

I recently took Geoseph's Chocolate Tasting Lesson virtually, and it exceeded all expectations! Despite being an online experience, it felt incredibly engaging and personal. Geoseph’s expertise truly shone through as he guided us through the tasting, offering insightful details about the origins, textures, and flavors of each chocolate. The virtual format didn’t take away from the experience at all—Geoseph made sure we felt connected and involved, encouraging us to share our thoughts and ask questions throughout the session.

The chocolates we received beforehand were of the highest quality, and the tasting was well-paced, allowing plenty of time to savor each one. Geoseph’s passion for chocolate was contagious, and I loved learning about the different tasting techniques, as well as discovering how subtle variations in flavor can make all the difference.

I was surprised by how much I learned and how fun the experience was, even from the comfort of my own home. If you're looking for a unique and enjoyable virtual activity, I highly recommend Geoseph’s Chocolate Tasting Lesson. It’s an experience that makes you look at chocolate in a whole new way!

This was my first order from Bean to Bar World. I was looking for a specific bar and found Bean to Bar World as a reference of where to purchase my bar. I enjoyed perusing the unique selection of other bars and was pleased to find some new bars to try. Also appreciated the free shipping and ease to get the chocolate from Canada to the US.

I love dark chocolate and have tasted bars from chocolate beans grown all over the world. I came upon Allo Chocolat 82 at a craft show and instantly became a huge fan. One of the best chocolate bars I have ever tasted. And available from a business in my own city, Bean to Bar World. Service was great and I will become a repeat customer.

The world of dark chocolate bars, even the pure dark chocolate bars that I have enjoyed for some 25 years, is vast. Most countries within 20 degrees north and south of the Equator grow cacao, and practically all countries make and sell dark chocolate bars from that cacao. With the low barrier to starting a single-origin or bean-to-bar chocolate company, and the growing interest globally in doing so, gatekeepers or tastemakers like Geoseph Domenichiello are essential for discerning customers. His selection and curation of the best and most interesting bars are exemplary and endlessly fascinating, and his service is superb, even when shipped across a border. Until I have the opportunity and privilege of visiting his shop up north, this note will have to serve as my compliment on his excellent work in a very specialized field.

I had an amazing experience at the 10-piece chocolate tasting with Bean To Bar World, led by Geoseph. The session was incredibly educational, fun, and informative, offering a deep dive into the world of fine chocolate. Geoseph was a fantastic host—not only was he knowledgeable and passionate, but he was also super considerate and went out of his way to accommodate our needs. His engaging teaching style made the experience even more enjoyable, and I walked away with a much greater appreciation for bean-to-bar chocolate. The variety of chocolates we tasted was exceptional, and the session was well-structured, allowing us to truly understand the flavors, origins, and craftsmanship behind each piece. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in chocolate!

Our team enjoyed this more than any other team event we've done. The tasting was educational and we continue to talk about it in the weeks after. Comfortable, well organized, did not feel contrived in any way, and we all came away with our favorites.

My wife and I recently did a chocolate tasting with Geoseph and we had a great time! We learned a ton about chocolate, but also about the biological mechanisms of taste - it was fascinating. I look forward to bringing some out of town guests to Geoseph for a tasting this summer.

Kasama Chai Spice Drinking Chocolate: This is my new favourite hot drink! Not bitter at all. I mixed it as suggested, and added a tbsp of some vanilla agave and oh my gosh, so good! Can I buy this in bulk?!

Geoseph did an incredible job with our Zoom chocolate tasting. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he presents the history, the process and how to experience the chocolate in a very relaxed, approachable manner. Adding culturally appropriate music during the tasting was an impressive addition. Our group will request another tasting soon!

Geoseph is very knowledgeable. We booked a chocolate experience with him and it was great fun! Lots of different chocolates with so many different flavors and nodes. We were taught the history of chocolate and where it originated. This was such a fun event to partake in. I would highly recommend booking a chocolate experience.

This is an absolute 5 star hidden gem! It's tucked away and not immediately visible from the street but it's so worth going in - the space is gorgeous, the owner is very knowledgeable and the chocolates are delicious and fascinating.

There are lots of cool chocolate bars for sale but there are lots of activities available as well, I did the Chocolate Tasting 101 with my family and loved it so much that I would do it again - I really learned a lot (and would recommend doing it to understand why the bars are so expensive). You can also just go in for a cup of tea and a "chocolate tasting flight" in the cozy tasting room. And there are chocolate making classes! Such a cool business to have in Salmon Arm, I can't recommend it highly enough.
