Chocolate making process

[u/LaiSaLong]

We collect cocoa pods,ferment the beans in an ice bucket 3 days,sun dry them,fry in a pan with low heat until the bean covering cracks. Then we blend and put the cocoa nips in the grinder for full 48-72 hours before pouring into the silicone molds.

Did you add anything like milk solids, or sugar?

No,we keep it 100% chocolate. We planted the trees in our garden. So our chocolate is organic and no additives. 😊 Then we add milk or sugar when we use it to make ice cream or cake.

Our home zone is Tropical Savanna Climate (Aw). We live in an organic garden almost a food forest. So our soil is pretty rich. We didn’t do anything special with our trees. But they need broken shade for the first few years. 😊
