July 25th Thursday, Trip to Lake Champlain Chocolates

              Today, we went to the Lake Champlain Chocolates. In this tour, we taste chocolate and listened a short lecture from Maria who is the person who works in there. Lake Champlain Chocolates started in 1983. Jim Lampman who is owner of Burlington, bought expensive boxes of chocolates in Ice House Restaurant on the Lake Champlain waterfront. But it was terrible. So he decided to make better chocolates. Truffles is the chocolates which is the finest chocolate Jim had ever tasted. So he was starting with truffles. In the lecture, we learned about cacao and difference between white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. I also learned white chocolate is chocolate. It is the sweetest chocolate and dark chocolate is the bitterest chocolate. Anyway the factory tour is awesome! I have never eaten such a delicious chocolate. It was a great experience for me in Vermont.
