Chocolate's distinctive flavor comes from the way that it is processed along with the ingredients used in it. Both the processing of chocolate and main ingredients used to flavor chocolate are described below.
Chocolate is made from the cocoa bean, which is the partially dried and fermented seed of the cacao fruit. After being harvested, cocoa beans are allowed to ferment and once that process is complete, the beans are dried, roasted and the shell is removed producing what is known as the nib. The nibs are then ground up and liquefied to produce pure chocolate liquor which is then combined with cocoa butter, sugar and other ingredients such as vanilla, milk or milk powder. To make the chocolate smooth to taste, it is then put through a process called conching. During conching, the liquid chocolate is put into a container that holds metal beads. These beads help break up the particles of sugar and cocoa butter to make the chocolate smooth. The final process that chocolate must go through is called tempering. This process, which involves continual heating and cooling of the chocolate to produce the right amount of cocoa butter fat crystals, ensures that only the best chocolate (for most that is chocolate that snaps when broken and begins melting near body temperature) makes it into the stores, chocolatiers, etc.
