Chocolate is a wonder and to dig deep into how cacao is harvested, altered and transported will relate to entering a wonderland.

Whatever it is, a compound of African and Latin American cacao or a singular originated bar, the process of chocolate manufacturing stays the same which starts with a tree, pod and bean.

Cocoa tree is like a mother to chocolate and the mixture of hot temperature, rain and shade happen to be its father. Oval fruits called pods are possessed by each tree and within each pod are 30 to 50 seeds that are known as Cacao or Cocoa beans by the world. The raw bean is known as Cacao meanwhile word cocoa is reserved for very beans after they are fermented.

When the pods turn to a vibrant yellow/ orange shade, they become ripe. They hang from the trunks on small stems and are harvested twice per year usually even when they can be harvested without any stop. The pods are freed and chopped; their olive-sized seeds are removed. All these beans are surrounded by a white pulp known as baba which was used by Latin Americans to make a cocoa wine 3000 years back.

Beans are cleaned by hand and left under the sunlight to transform into purplish color. They are then fermented either via heap method usually used in Africa or cascading boxes method used in Latin America. Beans are left with banana leaves for 2-9 days giving them enough room to let the color and flavor appear which can be initially recognized as chocolate.
Beans are then dried under bamboo mats from 7-14 days and then are packed and sent abroad in international market. Beans are then cleaned to be roasted at low temperatures where the shells depart the nibs followed by a high pressure press yielding cocoa powder and cocoa butter.
