💬 “Chocolate has got more complexity of flavour than just about anything else on the planet” ~Spencer Hyman

⚡️ Spencer Hyman is the Co-Founder & Chair of Chocolate at Cocoa Runners, a company that sources the world’s best craft chocolate and brings them all together under one roof. Spencer is a chocolate and flavour nerd and hosts regular tasting events to share his passion. I even get to taste some myself!

➡ The difference between flavour and taste, and how to savour your food more
