in the Austrian province, about 60 km from Graz is the Zotter chocolate factory. Short haul, long visit. Overall, we have tried for 3 hours various chocolate specialties. On receipt of any form has a beautiful porcelain spoon got kiss, audio guide hung around the neck and you could start the chocolate odyssey. The first was a fountain of liquid Kakaorohmasse was alongside audio guide explains step by step, the production and manufacture of various Schokisorten. Next we went to the first of six sampling stations. A series of ten chocolate fountain with various types of chocolate. Each fountain and each variety had another cocoa content. Ranging from 10% in increments of up to 100% cocoa content. So kiss spoon under the tap and losprobiert. For comparison, there was still any variety in solid form, ie as small bars. Despite all the good advice of the audio guides, we have at the first station pretty well fed, so that when the one or the other has already set the first slight excess pressure in the stomach. On the tour we went just past the fresh air, on donkeys and Highland cattle, the next station. Here we were allowed to smell a bit of relaxation. With saffron, curry, chamomile and co in the nose we went to the next stage of tasting. There was Labooko. These are two selected Chocolate varieties that are bound in the form of bars almost like in a book and complement the taste very nice. Overall, there were about 20 Labookos to try to collect 40 chocolate varieties. This Joseph Zotter audio guide told personally by his cocoa Travel to South America. Then we went further into the "online bar", which is a view in the cafe you're getting served Zotter chocolate. It fetches a glass of milk and to a cable that runs along the facade hang different drinking chocolates that you can then prepare fresh. Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, the bar was not open, so we could take our drinking chocolate (ie the bolt itself) to go home. After the bar there was then Bolleros as next station. These are small pieces of fruit, nuts, coffee beans, etc. that are rolled to the snowball effect and will be wrapped in cocoa by cocoa in many fine layers of dust. Since then stood Twenty miniature concrete mixer with Bolleros filled. We, the boys have, of course, all tried. Finally now the girls have kapitulliert, or switched back a few gears. Then we went on the trail again just to fresh air and new items to the last tasting and to shop. There was still filled chocolates. Mouse is, fruit, whiskey, cracklings drumrum what goes wrong with chocolate. Grades 2-3 were still in, after all, was it for the end. A quick few small souvenirs for all and then we went home.
