Cailler Chocolate

In Switzerland I went to the Cailler Chocolate Factory. Cailler is owned by Nestle and makes some of the best chocolate in the world out of all natural products. The factory is in a small town of Broc about 2 hours from Geneva by train. Here are some pictures from the train trip 























At the chocolate factory we took a self-guided  tour that started off with the history of chocolate. Chocolate was invented by the Mayans. Then we got to touch a bunch of different coco beans. Later we saw the production line of little frozen balls of chocolate with little bits of almonds on top. We got to taste some of the ones that had just come out. Finally, the tour ended in the tasting room where you got to try all of Cailler's chocolate. I liked none of them. The chocolate factory has a giant store out front with lots of chocolate and souvenirs, including trans full of the chocolate we saw being made!
