16. The
Netherlands
• The
Netherlands
hold
such
tradiJons
in
chocolate
manufacturing
that
currently,
all
cocoa
and
chocolate
products
are
processed
in
the
Netherlands
and
exported
to
all
other
countries.
This
is
largely
due
to
the
cocoa
press
invented
by
Coenraad

example
of
the
experJse.

responsible
for
three
of
the
greatest
impacts
on
modern
chocolate
processing.
The
invenJon
of
conching,
by
Rodolphe
Lindt,
combined
with
creamy
fondant
produces
the
smooth
silky
texture
we
enjoy
today.
We
can
also
thank
the
Swiss
for
the
creaJon
of
milk
chocolate.

26. Where does Cocoa come
from?
• First people who made chocolate were the Mayas and
the Aztecs
• They drank chocolate as a bitter and spicy beverage
called “xocoatl” (“bitter water”)
• Chocolate played an important role in their social and
religious life
• It symbolized life and fertility and was also used as
medicine
• It was a drink for wealthy and
important people
(royalty, priests, etc.)
• Cocoa beans were also used
as money
28. Chocolate in Europe -
Some Dates
1528: Hernán Cortéz returned to Spain with
cocoa beans and the formula for the
chocolate drink
1615: The Spanish princess Anne of Austria
married Luis XIII of France, so chocolate
came to France
1657: A Frenchman opened the first
“Chocolate House” in London
became as popular as Coffee Houses
29. Chocolate in Europe -
Some Dates
1674: The first solid chocolate in a stick form had
been sold
End of 17th century: chocolate came to Germany
first pralines were made by a German cook
a tax was imposed by Frederick I of Prussia

36. HarvesJng
• Harvest
takes
place
twice
a
year
from
November
to
January
and
May
to
July.
• The
fruit
is
hand-‐picked
to
protect
the
trees.
• Once
harvested
from
the
trees,
the
pods
are
opened
and
their
seeds
are
removed.
37. FermentaJon
• First,
the
beans
and
pulp
are
laid
in
fermentaJon
boxes.
• The
process
of
fermentaJon
produces
heat
requiring
the
beans
to
be
sJrred.
• At
the
end
of
the
5-‐day
fermentaJon
process,
the
beans
become
brown,
bi>erness
subsides
and
the
flavor
develops.
38. Drying
• Amer
fermentaJon,
the
beans
sJll
contain
too
much
water
to
be
turned
into
chocolate.
• The
beans
are
spread
out
in
the
sunshine
to
dry.
Most
beans
are
sun-‐dried
for
up
to
14
days.
• Amer
drying,
the
beans
are
inspected
and
separated.
39. Cocoa Beans - Roasting
RoasJng
takes
place
at
210
F
for
10-‐115
minutes.
RoasJng
sterilizes
the
beans,
enhances
flavor,
and
makes
the
next
step
much
easier.
43. Flow Diagram of
Chocolate Production
Step 1: cocoa beans
Step 2: shell and nibs
Step 3: cocoa powder
44. Grinding
The
nibs
are
then
ground,
either
by
machine
or
between
two
stones.
A
liquid
mass
called
cocoa
liquor
is
produced.
With
more
grinding
and
the
addiJon
of
sugar,
chocolate
is
made.

Chocolate Production

Step 4: plain

46. Conching
• Conching
is
the
process
of
mixing
the
cocoa
mass
(not
yet
chocolate).
• It
is
conJnuously
mixed
at
a
certain
temperature
to
develop
flavor,
remove
moisture
and
break
down
large
pieces.
This
can
take
hours
to
days,
depending
on
the
desired
outcome.
• The
finest
chocolates
are
conched
for
5
days.
47. Tempering
• The
next
step
is
tempering.
The
chocolate
is
slowly
heated
and
cooled
allowing
the
cocoa
mass
to
solidify
and
stabilize.
• Without
tempering,
the
chocolate
would
separate
and
would
not
harden
well.
