Cadbury chocolate was found almost 200 years ago. At 23 years old John opened a little shop where he sold hot chocolate and cocoa. When he was 30 he opened a factory selling drinking chocolate and cocoa.
Cocoa pods, which grow on cocoa trees, contain cocoa beans encased in a sweet, white pulp. Once harvested, the pods are opened, and the beans are extracted. The beans undergo fermentation for several days to develop their flavor, followed by drying and roasting. After processing, they are transformed into cocoa products like chocolate and cocoa powder.
John Cadbury opened a grocer's shop in Bull Street, Birmingham in 1824. He sold tea and coffee, but experimented with cocoa and drinking chocolate too.
The pods are cut off the trunk, opened, and the beans are removed to be dried, roasted, and ground into chocolate.
Farmers harvest cocoa beans by first inspecting the cocoa pods, which change color when ripe. Using machetes, they carefully cut the pods from the cocoa trees, taking care not to damage the branches. After harvesting, the pods are opened to extract the cocoa beans, which are then fermented, dried, and prepared for processing. This labor-intensive process is crucial for producing high-quality cocoa.
Cocoa production in Grenada involves several steps, starting with the cultivation of cocoa trees in the island's fertile volcanic soil. Farmers harvest ripe cocoa pods, which are then opened to extract the beans. These beans are fermented for several days to develop flavor, followed by drying in the sun. Finally, the dried beans are roasted, cracked, and processed to produce cocoa products, contributing to Grenada's reputation for high-quality chocolate.
The city of Ibadan in Nigeria has a 24-story tall Cocoa House. The first branch of Cadbury's Cocoa House opened in 2010 at Bluewater in Kent, UK- they have plans to open 50 more stores across the UK. Hershey, Pennsylvania, US, had a Cocoa House (1911-1912) that served as a public library, bank, post office, theater, dormitories, and a store.
