The process shows the steps by which liquid chocolate is produced from the beans of cocoa. Overall, the process entails 10 steps ,which can be divided into 3 stages: the farming of cacao beans, the transformation of them and the processing of the beans into chocolate bars.
The cacao tree is grown in South America, Africa and Indonesia and the collection of mature pods, typically identified by their turning red. Next, white cocoa beans are separated from the pods ensuring that they can be fermented. After that, they are put in the sun to dry. Subsequently, they are placed in large sacks and transported by special transformation(trains or trucks) to a factory for further preparation.
The factory stage begins with roasting the beans at the temperature of 350°C. This enables the easy removal of the shell ,which is done using a crushing tool. At the last step, the inner part is pressed to produce liquid chocolate.
