The Process of Chocolate Production

The diagram illustrates the process of chocolate production, from the cacao tree to the final chocolate molding. The process involves several stages, including harvesting the ripe red pods, fermenting the white cocoa beans, roasting the beans, and finally molding the chocolate. Throughout the process, the beans undergo various treatments such as fermentation, sun spreading, roasting, crushing, conching, and tempering. The outer shell is removed during the molding stage, resulting in the final chocolate product. Overall, the production of chocolate involves a series of carefully controlled steps to transform raw cacao beans into the delicious chocolate products enjoyed worldwide.
