FROM AUGUST TO DECEMBER

MASTERCLASS​

at The Chocolate Experience
by 20|20

If chocolate is an art, pairing is its most
sublime expression.

At The Chocolate Experience by 20|20, we believe that tasting chocolate goes far beyond the palate: it is a sensory, cultural and historical journey.

More than tastings, each session is an opportunity to discover how different artisanal processes intersect and reveal new ways of interpreting chocolate.

Each Masterclass is an invitation to discovery. A meeting between chocolate and other exceptional products, designed to reveal unexpected affinities, deepen knowledge and provide a unique sensory experience.

Calendar

20|20 & Scoundrels Distilling Co.

Timetable: 4pm – 5:30pm

Chocolate and artisanal distilling share the same fundamental principle: transforming exceptional raw materials through knowledge, experimentation and time.

In this Masterclass, we explore the meeting between single-origin chocolates and a selection of craft spirits from Scoundrels Distilling Co., discovering how fermentation, distillation and maturation create unexpected layers of aroma, texture and complexity.

20|20 & Quinta do Portal

Timetable: 4pm – 5:30pm

Wine and chocolate share an essential characteristic: both reflect the place where they are born.

In this session, we explore how climate, soil, variety and know-how shape the identity of great wines and origin chocolates, in a dialogue between two authentic expressions of the land. 

20|20 & 7g ROASTER

Timetable: 4pm – 5:30pm

Coffee and chocolate follow surprisingly similar paths. From origin to fermentation, and from roasting to tasting, both reveal how small decisions throughout the process can completely transform the final sensory profile.

A Masterclass dedicated to the affinities between two of the world’s most fascinating raw materials. 

20|20 & Black Wolf
Destilaria Portuguesa

Timetable: 4pm – 5:30pm

Creating a great spirit or an excellent chocolate requires much more than technique. It requires intention.

In this session, we explore how creativity, precision and mastery of the process can transform simple ingredients into memorable experiences, bringing together two Portuguese brands that share the same pursuit of authenticity. 

20|20 & Queijos Artesanais

Timetable: 4pm – 5:30pm

The ageing of cheese and the transformation of cocoa teach us the same lesson: time is an ingredient.

In this Masterclass, we discover how maturation, texture, fat, acidity and intensity can create unexpected pairings between single-origin chocolates and Portuguese artisan cheeses.
