Heaven For Chocolate Lovers

If you are in Saint Lucia, you literally can participate in the process of making chocolate yourself. This is one of the major reasons to visit Saint Lucia that you should know if you are a chocolate lover. The Caribbean island has become one of the world's trendiest destinations for chocolate tourism, and sampling this delicious dessert while you're here is well worth it. You can trace the steps of chocolate-making as you tour cacao fields or estates, from harvesting cacao pods to wrapping chocolate bars. If you choose to indulge in your favorite pleasure, you may find cafés and bakeries that specialize in chocolate delicacies, as well as restaurants whose chefs are dedicated to exceptional chocolate dishes and desserts. You could take culinary classes that teach you how to make the sweet and how to taste it like a pro. If you're really into chocolate, you can even stay at chocolate-themed hotels like Saint Lucia's Boucan by Hotel Chocolat.

Saint Lucia chocolate is for purists since it includes less sugar than Belgian, Dutch, French, and American chocolates. This produces a stronger chocolate flavor, which may be savored in a number of combinations and recipes. Single-estate Saint Lucia chocolate - made completely on one plantation - has a high status and distinct flavor, similar to wine from several vineyards. This flavor is best appreciated in moderation.
