At first seemingly odd bedfellows, the range of possible combinations and flavours from fine cheese and chocolate make for fascinating, at times challenging, but often sublime results. In this joint event with London cheese shop La Cave à Fromage, we take chocolate matching to another level by pairing fine chocolate and artisanal farmhouse cheese, with a little wine thrown in for good measure.

This month’s featured chocolate made in a growing country is Santander of Colombia, a lesser known cacao origin, but one with some great beans.

Following a recent visit to Santander’s beautiful highland experimental cacao farm, Martin Christy will introduce fine chocolate and give a talk with photos and samples from his trip, all accompanied by Melt’s Santander house truffle, a glass of wine and a goody bag to take away.

Tues 20 Oct 2009 - Our regular monthly tasting event in our partner venue, the London member rooms of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society. With an introduction to fine chocolate as well as sampling of our new finds and recent discoveries.
