1. GROWING AND HARVESTING
Chocolate starts by being grown as a bean in pods. Cocoa beans grow in tropical areas and they take around 5-6 months until the pods are ready to be harvested.
2. FERMENTING AND DRYING
Once the beans have been extracted from their pods, they are covered for 5-7 days to ferment. After they have been fermented they are left in the sun to dry for 6 days.
3. COLLECTION AND SHIPPING
At the collection centers, the beans are then weighed and checked for quality and then they are put into bags and transported to other cocoa factories for processing. In the cocoa factories, the beans are sorted, cleaned, dried and then broken into lots of nibs. The nibs are then roasted and then ground into a liquid called cocoa liquor. The cocoa liquor can then be further processed into cocoa butter and cocoa powder.
4. MAKING CHOCOLATE
After that lots of other ingredients are added to the cocoa. then the put it in mold to set. After that they will wrap the chocolate and send it to the shops to sell.
What is your favorite part of the process and why?
