How is organic cocoa powder made?
After the harvest, the cocoa pods are opened and the cocoa beans, which are embedded in the white pulp, are placed in wooden boxes and sealed. Due to the sugar content of the pulp, natural fermentation takes place, during which the typical taste, aroma and color of the cocoa develop.The cocoa beans are then dried until almost all of the moisture has escaped. The cocoa beans are then cleaned and treated with steam against bacteria. The cocoa beans are then gently roasted and then finely ground.
