From the bean…

Cultivated between the 20 degrees of the North and South latitudes, cocoa pods grow on the trunk of cocoa trees.
After the harvest, beans are fermented then dried on the production site.

to the chocolate bar

The beans are roasted and roughly crushed to become the nib.
Finely ground, the nib turns into the mass, made of a mix of cocoa powder and cocoa butter.
After a long kneading which is called “conchage”, the preparation is finally ready to be transformed into chocolate bars!
