Chocolate is made from cocoa beans. The process includes fermenting the beans, then roasting them and cracking open the shells. |
|
The fragments of the seeds are then ground into a paste called chocolate liquor. At this stage, various different options are possible. The liquor may then be hardened in molds resulting in bitter or baking chocolate; it may be pressed to reduce the cocoa butter content or vegetable fat and then pulverized to make cocoa powder or by adding sugar and more cocoa butter a sweet eating chocolate is achieved. This latter process was developed by the English manufacturer, Fry and Sons in 1847. Almost thirty years later, the Swiss Daniel Peter added concentrated milk to the sweet
chocolate to produce milk chocolate. Today there are thousands of types of chocolates on the market. Be it dark with varying degrees of cocoa content affecting the bitterness, milk or white. Fillings include nuts, dried fruit, caramel, toffee, nougat, fondant, fudge, jelly, Turkish delight, marshmallow, marzipan with many more flavourings available. There is certainly a taste and selection to satisfy everyone. |
