1)

HARVESTING

Pair text with an image to focus on your chosen product, collection, or blog post. Add details on availability, style, or even provide a review.

2)

FERMENTING

The wet cacao beans and its sugary pulp are fermented to reduce the acidity and bitterness enabling the developed of intense chocolate flavours. This helps in developing the flavour of the cacao beans

3)

DRYING & STORAGE

The fermented cacao beans are slow dried to remove as much moisture as possible to ensure long term hygiene and avoiding mold.

4)

ROASTING

Each batch of cacao beans is roasted to develop their natural flavours. A good roast profile is essential for chocolate to attain its best flavour.

5)

WINNOWING

The roasted beans are cracked open and the outer husk is removed to obtain the cacao nibs, which are used in making chocolate.

6)

REFINING & CONCHING

The cacao nibs are ground in the melanger to release natural cacao butter and blended with other ingredients to give cacao paste. This is ground to a fine silky smooth consistency.

7)

TEMPERING

The ‘Snap’ is brought to the shiny chocolate by heating and cooling the chocolate to perfectly crystallise the cacao butter in the chocolate.

8)

MOULDING & PACKAGING

The tempered chocolate is then poured into moulds and cooled to create Chocolate bars. Each bar is flow wrapped and packed into mono cartons to give you the most indulgent chocolate bar experience.
