During the milling process<\/strong>cocoa liquor or paste is obtained, which is then pressed. When pressed, cocoa butter - which is the liquid part - and cocoa cake - which is the solid part - are extracted.<\/p>\n Then it will be time to start mixing the liqueur and the cocoa butter with all the ingredients.<\/strong>ients for making chocolate<\/strong>. Vanilla or sugar will be used to give a certain sweetness, and powdered milk if we want to make milk chocolate. Keep in mind that at this point the paste will still be granulated, so it will have to go through a cylinder grinder to obtain a more homogeneous mass.<\/p>\n Subsequently we have the conching process<\/strong>During this process, the chocolate is worked for days in the cellars to achieve the smooth texture we are looking for. First of all, we have dry conching: here we look for maximum friction to eliminate unwanted angles and roughness. Then there is the liquid conching in which cocoa butter and a natural emulsifier are added. Throughout this process, the paste is kept at a temperature of between 60 and 80\u00ba.<\/p>\n Finally, it is tempered - heated from a liquid to a solid state - and moulded into the familiar chocolate bar.<\/p>\n As you can see, the process is not simple, but it is definitely worth it!
