SANTA MONICA CHOCOLATE SOCIETY: VENEZUELA – Chuao and Porcelana
Venezuela is considered an almost mystical region for cacao growing and will be the focus of our next gathering. The Chuao village in the northern coastal mountains is famous for its dense rainforests and flavorful beans that are extremely hard to access. Cacao is the main economic activity for families of the valley, and cacao workers are primarily women, as men of the valley work in fishing.
Chuao cacao is not just an agricultural product; it represents their proud way of life, identity, culture, language and land. Since the political unrest in Venezuela, it has been extremely difficult for chocolate makers to procure any beans from that country.
We will have the opportunity to taste bars made from both Chuao beans and Porcelana beans. Porcelana are precious beans from the region south of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. Estación Experimental Chama, is a germplasm bank dedicated to the preservation of this rare cacao. The bars we taste will be from some of the best chocolate makers in the world including but not limited to Ruth’s favorite maker, Soma Chocolate!

SOURDOUGH 101
Gather 'round as we knead, stretch, fold and proof our way to beautiful, naturally leavened loaves. You'll come into class and shape two loaves of bread using dough our chef has prepared; one boule and one pan loaf. Once nestled in proofing baskets and loaf pans to rise, we will gather to learn about the science of wild yeast, gluten and explore the rainbow of flavors and textures of different varieties of heirloom grains (milled in Pasadena at Grist & Toll))! You'll taste Spelt, Rye, Hard Reds and Whites and Sonora wheats before choosing your favorites to make your own bread dough.
Following a quick break, you'll feed a sourdough starter and prepare a levain, then mix the dough you'll take home to bake your own loaves after class. Once the loaves you shaped are fully proofed, we'll learn to expertly slash and bake them and, while they're busy baking away in the ovens, we will make a batch of jam and churn some butter with the loveliest cream from our friends at Straus.
Please bring one large bowl to class, a jar for your starter and a large paper bag to carry your loaves home with! Stone-milled flours from Grist & Toll are available for purchase in our storefront for all your bread-making dreams.
