    This is kinda irrelevant, but i realised that when people comment something positive about someone, especially in the comments section, it affects how others judge as well. For example, everyone here is really supporting this lady and are commenting lovely things about her, so it then makes me think the same, but if a whole bunch of people where to say bad things about someone, the majority of the people would also start criticising. This really goes to show that we truly affect the way others think, and it is a really important thing that we all become role models to each other. Always be kind.

I saw another video where people had to do all the hard work on the beans but saw how she already purchased the beans pre prepped but now I see how she got them so it makes sense that she gives back to the farmers. It's all a hard work of team effort with everyone putting in their two cents and working together. This is a very positive and educational fun video and I totally dig it!

      Exquisito Chocolates 3 things. 1 I've had you're chocolates they are fantastic! 2 thank you for elevating chocolate as a craft and helping make a video like this. Chocolate has been criminally underrated with very little appreciation for it's nuance and I thank you for helping people see how refined chocolate can truly be. 3 I don't think you meant it in this way but the way you talked about some bitter chocolates gave the impression that all bitter chocolates are the result of over roasted and lack quality. From what I have been told there are just some beans with natural bitterness even when fermented and roasted correctly. I have had amazing bars with bitter notes that in no way diminish the flavor of that origin. So that’s my pedantic disagreement. That said I’m just a guy who likes chocolate on the internet and you are definitely more knowledgeable than I am. I could be wrong but I think that not all bitterness in chocolate is indicative of poor quality and over roasting. Again thank you for you’re contribution to the world of single origin craft chocolate.

Because cacao has a bitter taste. For evidence their are people in the comments section who ordered her dark chocolate and found it bitter and said they prefer the sweetness of milk chocolate. Their are variations in bitterness based if percentage of cacao. Anyone new to dark chocolate can start from 70 percent.

    I actually screamed when I came across this. I'm so happy to see this video on the internet. Carolina is so dedicated and passionate about what she does at Exquisito. I'm from Miami and I took my best friend here for her 18th birthday and we did a tour, learned the chocolate-making process, and then decorated our own truffles. It was a beautiful experience. I also bought one of her chocolate bars (my favorite: dark chocolate with almonds). I highly recommend a visit if and when you can. ❤🤎

    I am a Food Engineering student in Turkey and I have to say this woman almost knows everything about cacao and the processes that are involved in chocolate making as well as our professors. Wonder if she ever had an education on food production or she is just passionate about what she does. Well, after watching the full video appereantly she just loves chocolate. It is always pleasant to see someone who is passionate about something, especially when it is their job.

      It might have been Jean-Paul Hévin’s hot chocolate... they were famous for it, and it was unlike any other I’ve ever tasted...decadent as heck. They don’t serve it in store anymore but you can buy the mix and they have videos online explaining how to prepare it correctly.
