Gina dalla Gasperino from Meridian Cacao Company joins us at the bar to discuss cocoa and the cacao bean. Please visit their website and check out the Education link. Also in this episode, last week we talked about a few summer flavors for some inspiration, this week we narrowed it down to a few projects we’re going to work on. And finally, Facebook Friends, how come I can’t see the numbers on the hydrometer, and a couple others we mention.
