According to my 19 yr old brother, this is how chocolate is made: 1. Buy chocolate bar 2. Put in microwave 3. Take out once melted 4. Refrigerate You have now created chocolate Cadbury has failed my brother...
Just wanted to point out that the chocolate makers in the video, Raaka chocolate in Brooklyn, NY, only purchases cocoa beans that come from places where no child labor is allowed. They're very socially conscious.
It wasn’t necessarily a currency, but it was a divine delicacy. It was noted as “food of the gods.” It was mixed with spices and put into soups, it was just so rare to ancient Mexico.
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that there are a number of steps to making chocolate! First, cocoa beans are picked from the tree. At this stage, the beans are white and gooey. The beans are fermented for 2 weeks and left to dry. Once dry, the beans have turned brown! The dried beans are roasted to create more flavor, and finally, made into chocolate products!
Is it just me or does this guy sound a lot like Keith? He's like an alternate universe version of Keith that decided to go into the chocolate business instead of working at buzzfeed
The machines are regularly cleaned, but as one comment below asks about oxidation - that does not occur. All food contact equipment is made with 304 stainless steel. Also, chocolate does not contain water only cocoa butter. Water actually can mess up the chocolate making process. This means that oxidation really won't happen easily in that environment.
