FLICKR ALBUM: Chocolate

Ni amor recomendzado ni chocolate recalentado. Neither rekindle a love affair nor reheat chocolate. Planeta.com: Chocolate - the raw and processed foods produced from the seed of the tropical cacao tree - is so much more than its Wikipedia definition. Chocolate has a smell, a taste, a mouthfeel that awakens the senses. Think mole negro, chocolate con leche, champurrado, tejate. Better yet, high tail it to Oaxaca to give chocolate its proper respect. "Nothing could be sweeter than Chocolate Night in Oaxaca," said Planeta.com Chocolateer Ron Mader. On Wednesday, February 29, it's a talking and tasting, delicious slow adventure at the Instituto Cultural Oaxaca, 6-8pm. The event in sponsored by Planeta.com, Fundación Envia and Instituto Cultural Oaxaca and continues conversations held during Responsible Tourism Week.
