shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts prcessing by roasting the
beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have different
qualities and flavour. So they are often shorted and blended to produce a distance mix.
The next procecess is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the meat nib

chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter.
All seeds contain some amunt of fat and cacao beans are not different. Homever , cacao
beans are half fat, which is why they ground nibs from liquid. It is pure bitter chocolate.
