INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The cocoa plant is a small, evergreen tree (usually between 13 to 26 feet tall) that grows exclusively in the deep tropical regions of the world. The dried, green beans are cleaned, roasted, weighed and stored and processed as clean raw material, the beans are subjected to a thermal treatment under high pressure at a temperature of 220\u00b0C so that all bacteria are destroyed. This is followed by bean toasting, during which the moisture is extracted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the cocoa beans are crushed and the hulls are separated from the bean fragments called nibs. During this mechanical grinding operation heat is generated which makes the cocoa mass melt. The liquid cocoa mass (liquor), with a temperature of about 80\u00b0C, is directed to storage tanks, where it is cooled to 45\u201350\u00b0C. From the tanks, the mass is moved to a cooling tunnel where the heat is extracted and the cocoa mass is formed into blocks weighing 25kg each.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
