7 What is the process of making chocolate?
Hundreds of fermented and dried cacao beans bundled in sacks arrive at factories around the world everyday, ready to be turned into fine bars of chocolate. They go through many steps just to become chocolate.

8 Roasting After being cleaned, the cacao beans pass to the first critical step in flavor development at the factory: roasting. Pictured is a roasting machine

9 Winnowing After roasting, the beans are put through a winnowing machine which removes the outer husks or shells, leaving behind the roasted beans, now called nibs.

10 Blending To make milk chocolate, milk and sugar are mixed together and then blended with chocolate liquor. This combination of ingredients is stirred until the flavors are thoroughly combined.

11 Refining, Tempering, and Molding
After being mixed, both dark and milk chocolates go through the same process. The mixture travels through a series of heavy rollers which press the ingredients until the mixture is refined completely. The mixture is then tempered, or passed through a heating, cooling and reheating process. Tempering allows you to solidify chocolate, witch allows it to melt smoothly in your mouth. The mixture is then poured into molds and cooled in a cooling chamber.
