What does flavour really mean? It is the interplay of taste, aroma, and mouthfeel. Sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami form the foundational notes, but it’s the way they combine with aroma and texture that creates the complexity we experience when we eat.
In this guided session, we’ll explore these sensory building blocks through familiar ingredients from the Indian pantry, each correlating with a major flavour archetype. Think gentle notes of spices, fruity that brighten acidity, nuts with a sweet earthiness, or herbs that introduce freshness.
From there, we move to tasting and smelling these references side by side with craft chocolate from Indian origins as well as select international regions. The session culminates in creating a flavour map or wheel, giving you a framework to identify, describe, and appreciate the diverse profiles of fine craft chocolate.
