Chocolate is a delicacy that nobody is indifferent to. All countries live with its presence and it accompanies us in good and bad moments of our lives. Although we talk a lot about chocolate and it is present in our daily lives, it appears that it is still very unknown and mysterious.
We intend to start a “Journey to the Heart of Chocolate” and discover its secrets and its sweet / sour side. That way, we dedicate ourselves to the cultural, emotional, human, culinary, nutritional, historical and commercial aspects and others of this product. »
Anybody interested in such a project can find her name - Natercia Arqueiro - in the Partner Finding section of their eTwinning profile. For more help you can contact the Malta National Support Service on 25982150 or on amromica@gmail.com.
