Jessica Henderson, the owner of Chocolate Monkey, is a craft chocolate educator with a passion for helping people understand the difference between the chocolate you buy at the local grocery store versus fine, carefully-made craft chocolate. In addition to the very enjoyable part of tasting craft chocolates, Jessica enjoys sharing information on the entire process of how chocolate bars are created, including: from plants, to harvest, to production, and more. As part of her business, she pairs chocolates with wine and has also done pairings with beer and even kombucha!Current research supports that while chocolate has existed for 5500 years as drinking chocolate, chocolate bars were created in the 1800s, and the craft chocolate industry is only about 20 years old. Jessica's vast knowledge of the craft chocolate world will most certainly shift how you think about chocolate and may even change what you decide to purchase and taste!Contact Info:Jessica Hendersonhttps://drjessicahenderson.com/chocolatemonkey https://www.facebook.com/Chocolate-Monkey-171005672991802 @chocolatemonkeync (Instagram)Julie Berman - [email protected]@womencooljobs (Instagram)Send Julie a text!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.
