Chocolate has an ancient origin, being first cultivated by the Mayans and Aztecs. It has grown into a worldwide delicacy, widely appreciated for its rich flavor. The manufacturing process involves a series of steps that transform the cacao beans into the finished product we all know and love.

• Harvesting: Cacao trees are grown in tropical climates. The pods are harvested manually.
• Fermentation and Drying: The beans are extracted from the pods, fermented and then sun-dried.
• Roasting and Grinding: Beans are roasted at high temperatures, then ground into a paste known as chocolate liquor.
• Conching: The chocolate liquor is further processed to improve flavor and texture.
• Tempering and Molding: The chocolate is cooled and then reheated to a specific temperature, then poured into molds for final packaging.

Factors such as the quality of cacao beans, fermentation process, and the roasting temperature can greatly affect the quality of the final product.

There are several types of chocolate available for bulk purchase, each with unique characteristics and uses.
