size of a small pine apple. In side the fruits are the tree's seeds. They are
also known as coco beans.
Next, the beans are fermented for
about a week, dried in the sun. After that they are shipped to the chocolate
maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the
flavour. Different beans from different places have different qualities and
flavour. So they are often shorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix.
The next process is winnowing.
The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the meat nib of the cacao bean from
its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a
liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter.
All seeds contain some amount of
fat and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which
is why the ground nibs from liquid. It is pure bitter chocolate.
