Not only can you eat chocolate to your heart's content at ChocXo, but you can also learn all the ins and outs about the chocolate making process on their unique, fun and informative chocolate tour.
The tour is such a big part of the Chocxo experience that they even advertise it on their door. That's right, you can head to Chocxo.com to book a factory tour.
The tour is led by an official chocolate guide who truly knows everything about chocolate. And you know they must be the real deal because they wear lab jackets on the tour.
Once inside the factory, you'll get to see every detail of the chocolate-making process close-up. You'll be so close, in fact, that you'll have to wear a hair net.
And you'll learn that the quality of the chocolate always starts with the beans. It should go without saying that Chocxo only picks the finest beans; they roast them onsite right inside this cocoa bean roaster.
