Last month, our CORE group had a chance to tour the Scharffen Berger Chocolate Factory in Emeryville. Before this trip I had never heard of them, but apparently they're a really well-known gourmet chocolate. We spent about 30 minutes waiting and browsing their gift shop before the start of our private tour. We then spent an hour listening to a very energetic lady giving the history of the company. During the presentation, we got to sample numerous types of chocolates, most of which were high concentrations of cacao. Afterwords, we then got to do a tour of their facility, which was rather small, but was full of vintage type machines. It was definitely no Jelly Belly, which is full of high-tech machines. We even met and got to take a picture with the owner, who was raiding the gift shop for some treats to take as presents. We finished the day off by having dinner at the Emeryville Public Market.
