Dark Chocolate, the Cocoa Bean

Dark chocolate has its roots in cocoa beans, the seeds of the cacao tree growing in tropical regions such as South America, West Africa, and Asia. Cocoa beans are encased in a sweet pulp inside the cacao fruit. After harvesting, the beans undergo a process of fermentation and drying. Once dried, they are roasted to develop their distinct flavors. The next step is grinding the beans, which produces a liquid cocoa paste called "cocoa liquor." From this liquor, cocoa butter and cocoa powder are extracted. Dark chocolate is distinguished by its high cocoa content, typically over 50%, and the absence of milk in its composition. This pure approach highlights the natural flavors of cocoa.
