Zotters

 

This place deserves is own post. I, personally, have been on chocolate tours before. I've never been more impressed with the commitment to delicious chocolate from bean to bar. Mr. Zotter was even walking around the grounds today, picked up some litter, and stopped and spoke with people. 

You start in a movie theater and learn how Zotter's contracts with many different countries to get bring the cacao to Austria. All of the beans are harvested in ways that promote the health of the land. Many are even sailed (wind power) instead of ships that use fuel. 

You walk out and straight into the factory, but with walls protecting the chocolate from everyone's drool. Lol! You take a spoon and the you proceed to taste everything. Beans, milk, flavorings, white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate and not just all blended together. No... not here. You can taste the chocolate from Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Uganda, and Madagascar to name a few. 

Then you realize that all of the food they are serving comes from the land on which Zotters is located. You can also go out and eat what's in the gardens and as they say, "Look your food in the eye."

I didn't even take all the pictures of the art games along path that rambles through the land. 

What chocolate do you think was the most popular with the students? White, milk, or dark?
