Production Step

Cocoa Bean Treatment

Baking, hulling and grinding of cocoa beans are carried out with special equipment. Cacao melanger plays an important role in this process, which can finely grind cocoa beans to ultra-smooth state and release the natural aroma of cocoa.

Mixing and Refining

Add the ground cocoa liquor, sugar powder, cocoa butter (and cow milk powder) into chocolate melanger and continue to mix for several hours, so that the chocolate pulp is fine, particle-free and full of flavor. This step is the key link of high quality chocolate.

Mold Pouring and Cooling

Pour the mixed chocolate paste into a pre-prepared mold, remove bubbles by vibration, and place it in a low temperature environment for cooling and molding. Ensure that the surface of the finished product is smooth and free of air holes.

Wrapping and Decoration

The formed chocolate can be evenly wrapped with nuts, dried fruits or other auxiliary materials by chocolate covering machine, so as to quickly mass-produce chocolate products with beautiful appearance, improve production efficiency and reduce manual errors.

Tips for Improving Taste

The longer the refining time, the smoother the taste of the chocolate. It is generally recommended to refine for at least 12 hours.
The use of high-purity cocoa butter can greatly improve the luster and taste of chocolate.
A variety of flavors can be developed according to market demand, such as adding special ingredients such as vanilla, pepper, and salt flower.
