The diagram demonstrates how liquid chocolate is made from cocoa beans. Overall, there are 10 steps to experience before producing liquid chocolate, yet the red pods of the cocoa tree undergo two main phases, which are done manually and automatically.
Initially, ripe cocoa pods are picked, which are grown in South America, Africa, and Indonesia; but of those, only the white beans are harvested, which are suitable for use in the process. Next, the collected beans are fermented and laid under the sun to get rid of water. This ends with putting the dried beans into large sacks and delivering them to factories.
There, the beans go through further stages prior to yielding final results. Firstly, the beans are roasted and then crushed, while the outer shells are removed. Subsequently, the inner part of the beans is pressed, and thereafter, chocolate liquid is extracted. Finally, the process ends here, and the liquid chocolate is ready for consumption.
