Taza Chocolate Factory
📍 561 Windsor St, Somerville, MATaza Chocolate is a Somerville bean-to-bar chocolate maker that runs factory tours and chocolate-making workshops where you work with actual cacao in the production space. The workshops go beyond tasting to teach you how flavor develops from fermented cacao bean through roasting, winnowing, grinding, and conching, and you make a batch of stone-ground chocolate yourself. The instructors are production staff who explain the sensory decisions that differentiate a good chocolate batch from a great one.
