"[84], Chocolate and cocoa contain moderate to high amounts of oxalate,[86][87] which may increase the risk of kidney stones. [117] Most attention on this subject has focused on West Africa, which collectively supplies 69 percent of the world's cocoa,[118] and Côte d'Ivoire in particular, which supplies 35 percent of the world's cocoa. [39] It has less sugar and more liquor than semisweet chocolate, but the two are interchangeable in baking. Milk chocolate is made by combining chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, sugar, flavorings, and sweetened condensed or powdered whole milk (which one is used depends on the individual manufacturer's formula and production methods).

Generally, the chocolate is first heated to 45 °C (113 °F) to melt all six forms of crystals. [70], The temperature in which the crystals obtain enough energy to break apart from their rigid conformation would depend on the milk fat content in the chocolate and the shape of the fat molecules, as well as the form of the cocoa butterfat. Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, the dried and fermented seeds of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao), a small, 4–8 m tall (15–26 ft tall) evergreen tree native to the deep tropical region of the Americas. Ideal storage temperatures are between 15 and 17 °C (59 and 63 °F), with a relative humidity of less than 50%. Within about a hundred years, chocolate established a foothold throughout Europe.

Unsweetened chocolate. [10] Documents in Maya hieroglyphs stated chocolate was used for ceremonial purposes, in addition to everyday life. The widespread use of children in cocoa production is controversial, not only for the concerns about child labor and exploitation, but also because up to 12,000 of the 200,000 children working in Côte d'Ivoire, the world's biggest producer of cocoa,[116] may be victims of trafficking or slavery.

Two classic ways of manually tempering chocolate are: Chocolate tempering machines (or temperers) with computer controls can be used for producing consistently tempered chocolate. [37], White chocolate, although similar in texture to that of milk and dark chocolate, does not contain any cocoa solids that impart a dark color. [20], Known as "Dutch cocoa", this machine-pressed chocolate was instrumental in the transformation of chocolate to its solid form when, in 1847, English chocolatier Joseph Fry discovered a way to make chocolate moldable when he mixed the ingredients of cocoa powder and sugar with melted cocoa butter. Until the 16th century, no European had ever heard of the popular drink from the Central American peoples. [40] Chocolate and cocoa are under preliminary research to determine if consumption affects the risk of certain cardiovascular diseases[90] or cognitive abilities. Next, the shell of each bean is removed to extract the nib. The conching machine, so-called because the original designs resembled seashells, kneads and massages the chocolate mixture for a period of time ranging from several hours to several days. [67][68] The uniform sheen and crisp bite of properly processed chocolate are the results of consistently small cocoa butter crystals produced by the tempering process. In the UK and Ireland, milk chocolate must contain a minimum of 20% total dry cocoa solids; in the rest of the European Union, the minimum is 25%. I think it's the proverbial all-hands-on-deck: government, civil society, the private sector. Chocolate liqueur is a beverage made from a base liquor like whiskey or vodka (containing alcohol) to which chocolate is added.

Chocolate is a popular flavour of ice cream and pudding, and chocolate sauce is a commonly added as a topping on ice cream sundaes. In general, molten chocolate coming in at 40–50 °C is cooled in heat exchangers to crystallization temperates of about 26–30 °C, passed through a tempering column consisting of spinning plates to induce shear, then warmed slightly to re-melt undesirable crystal formations. open? In fact, it’s a fascinating but labor-intensive process that will make you appreciate every sweet bite.

Chocolate is used as an ingredient in a huge variety of bars, which typically contain various confectionary ingredients (e.g., nougat, wafers, caramel, nuts, etc.) To make Dutched cocoa powder, chocolate liquor is pumped into giant hydraulic presses, where about half of the cocoa butter is squeezed out. [48], Production costs can be decreased by reducing cocoa solids content or by substituting cocoa butter with another fat. [53], Trinitario is a natural hybrid of criollo and forastero. It is typically used in baking or other products to which sugar and other ingredients are added. Much of the chocolate consumed today is in the form of sweet chocolate, which combines chocolate with sugar. They associated chocolate with Quetzalcoatl, who, according to one legend, was cast away by the other gods for sharing chocolate with humans,[14] and identified its extrication from the pod with the removal of the human heart in sacrifice. [82], According to a 2005 study, the average lead concentration of cocoa beans is ≤ 0.5 ng/g, which is one of the lowest reported values for a natural food. To make chocolate, cocoa farmers crack open the pods, scoop out the seeds, ferment them and dry them. Growing and harvesting cacao beans is a difficult process for the producers. sfnp error: no target: CITEREFCoeCoe2013 (, sfnp error: no target: CITEREFChinchilla_Mazariegos2016 (, McKenzie, David and Swails, Brent (19 January 2012).

The cacao tree is a tropical plant that grows only within 20 degrees latitude of the Equator. Once heated, the crystals of the polymorphic cocoa butter can break apart from the rigid structure and allow the chocolate to obtain a more fluid consistency as the temperature increases – the melting process. The liquor is pressed to remove the cocoa butter, which leaves a powdery disc known as “cocoa presscake.” Presscake, when pulverized, becomes common cocoa powder. Finally, the chocolate is poured into molds, wrapped, and ready for shipping to eager consumers around the world. Approximately 65% of the fat in milk chocolate is saturated, mainly palmitic acid and stearic acid, while the predominant unsaturated fat is oleic acid (table). Without fermentation, the beans would be too astringent and bitter to enjoy. The process of creating chocolate is complex. Numerous types of candy and snacks contain chocolate, either as a filling (e.g., M&M's) or as a coating (e.g., chocolate-coated raisins or chocolate-coated peanuts).
