The Full Chocolate Experience, a multisensory chocolate appreciation and education event.
They were born into it. John and Helen Fascia opened their business in 1964 while Helen was expecting her first child. All three Fascia daughters (Louise, Lynne and Laurie) have been devoted to the business all their lives and Carmen joined as general manager in 2009 after marrying Louise in 1996.
As Carmen tells it, “My Mother and Father in-law get all the credit. The more I learned and experienced other chocolate, the more I appreciated Peter’s. When we decided to educate the public, telling the story of Daniel Peter creating the first milk chocolate seemed a natural fit. Besides, he was a technical guy whose father in-law was a master chocolatier, so I have that kinship.”
Through the courses they teach and activities they conduct, the Fascia family has become an authority and an advocate, sharing what they know about the origins, growing and processing, sustainability and manufacturing of chocolate with thousands of curious customers.
“Learn the science of chocolate because it makes the art that much more satisfying.”
