january and from may to july.
• Fruit is hand-picked to protect
the trees.
• Once harvested, the pods are
opened and their seeds are
removed.
23. Fermentation
• Beans and the pulp are laid in
the fermentation boxes.
• Fermentation produces heat
requiring the beans to be
stirred.
• Germination in the cacao bean
is killed by the high
temperatures produced during
the fermentation process.
• After the 5 days process of
fermentation, beans are brown
and have a better flavor.
24. Drying
• After fermentation, the water present in the
beans is dried up to convert them into
chocolate.
• Cacao beans are often dried in the sun, which
can happen on tarps, mats, or patios.
• Humidity in the beans is decreased down to 68% for storage and export.
• Once dried, they can be stored for 4-5 years.
• After sorting and bagging, the cocoa beans
are then loaded on ships to be delivered to
chocolate manufacturers.
26. Roasting

selected beans undergo extensive
sampling and testing procedure.
• Then roasting takes place at
usually 210 F for about 10-35
minutes.

the colour and to further bring out
the flavour characteristics of the
cacao.
27. Winnowing
• The process of removing shells
from around the beans.

and a stream of air separates
the shell from the nib, the small
pieces used to make chocolate.
• The nibs, key ingredient, contain
approximately 53 percent cocoa
butter, depending on the cacao
species.
28. Grinding
• The beans are then usually grounded in a
milling or grinding machine called a
melangeur.
• The nibs are grounded into a paste called
chocolate liquor.
• A roll refiner or ball mill is used to create
heat that melts and distributes the cocoa
butter and to further reduce the particle
size of cocoa mass.
• Flavor of the chocolate bar depends on the
percentage of cocoa butter in the liqour.
• With more grinding and the addition of
sugar, lecithin, milk or cream powder or
milk crum and spices such as vanilla
depending upon the manufacturer,
chocolate is made.
29. CONCHING

mass.

temperature to develop flavor remove
moisture and break down large pieces.
This can take hours to days depending on
the desired outcome.
• The finest chocolates are conched for 5
days.
31. Tempering
• The next step is tempering the chocolate
is slowly heated and cooled allowing the
cocoa mass to solidify and stabilize.
