SUMMARY:Future of Fine Flavor Cacao
DESCRIPTION:The news is full of stories about rising cacao prices, fut
 ure cacao shortages and the efforts underway to address these issues. 
 The majority of the emphasis is on making cacao more disease resistant
  and increasing the yield. These are all wonderful efforts, but...what
 's going on to preserve fine flavor? How will we preserve the amazing 
 and outstanding cacao enjoyed by chocolate aficionados, produced by ar
 tisan chocolate makers and used by pastry chefs and chocolatiers today
 ?  Join us on Saturday July 9th in Washington D.C. for a panel discuss
 ion (USDA ARS, WCF, and others) and update on efforts underway that fo
 cus on identifying, protecting, and promoting Fine Flavor beans. The e
 vent also includes a chocolate tasting hosted by FCIA member, restaura
 teur, and author Maricel Presilla, and a Gallery Showcase where compan
 ies supporting fine chocolate professionals can promote their products
 /services.  Learn more and register online at www.FineChocolateIndustr
