Making Chocolate

Cocoa beans is the main ingredient to make chocolate. The beans come from the inside of cocoa pods. Cocoa farmers harvest the pods by hand, just as they have done for more than a thousand years. After that, the beans are scooped out and left to dry. Then the beans are cleaned and roasted, and the shell is removed to produce cacao nibs. The nibs are then ground and liquified, resulting in pure chocolate in fluid form. It's called chocolate liquor. It will be processed into cocoa solids and cocoa butter.
