This is the first step in chocolate making process from cocoa beans. Through precise temperature control, baking can stimulate the aroma of cocoa.

After the shell is removed, the cocoa kernel is left, and then it is ground to form cocoa liquor.

At this stage, sugar and a small amount of cocoa butter are added and mixed at high speed by the choco machine to form a uniform and delicate texture.

This is the key link of the dark chocolate manufacturing process. The temperature adjustment process ensures that the chocolate texture is silky and has a perfect sense of fracture and luster.

Materials:

Cocoa Bean 500g

Prefer well-fermented organic beans from Ghana or Ecuador for rich flavor, ideal for dark chocolate.

Sugar Powder 100g

Use powdered sugar for easier mixing; adjust sweetness to taste.

Cocoa Butter 50g

Enhance the smooth taste and luster of chocolate, and also contribute to molding and demolding.

A Pinch of Salt

Fusion Seasoning

Add powdered sugar and cocoa butter and mix continuously. Adjust the amount of sugar according to taste and stir until the texture is smooth and uniform.

Tempering Setting

Tempering is carried out by repeated heating and cooling, and after controlling the temperature curve, it is finally poured into a mold for cooling and molding.
