Every ingredient carries the story of where and how it was grown or made, and by paying attention to these details, we gain a deeper understanding of the food system. The goal is to build awareness and appreciation for products created with care and intention—foods that often taste extraordinary.Together we’ll explore hospitality that fosters community, have fun, and grow our curiosity about how our bodies respond to flavor. As sessions unfold, we’ll gather tasting notes from each instructor—whether it’s cocoa in wine, floral tones in coffee and beer, or barnyard qualities in cheese—and share them across the series to create a sense of cohesion in Flavor School.More About Equal ExchangeEqual Exchange is a pioneering cooperative committed to building a more just and sustainable world through ethical trade.
