Chocolatier Coenraad van Houten invented a hydraulic cocoa press in 1828 that could squeeze cocoa butter from beans What did this help him invent?

Dutch chocolate ____________________________________________________________ The cocoa press allowed cocoa butter to be used in cosmetic items such as soaps and lotions. The cacao that was left without the butter is called rock cocoa which is ground further into a powder. This powder with sugar was used to make hot chocolate. This invention was the catalyst in cocoa technology that brought inexpensive, affordable chocolate into the marketplace. The cocoa liquor and butter could be sold for high profits to cosmetics and food companies. It was Van Houten's invention of alkali processing that was used to treat the pressed cocoa that produced Dutch processed chocolate. For more info search under "What is Dutch processed chocolate?"

What is chocolate really made from?

White chocolate is not really chocolate. It contains cocoa fat, and sugar, I think some type of shortening and artificial flavors. That's about it.White chocolate is made from sugar, cocoa butter, and milk. It is based on cocoa butter instead of cocoa solids, which gives it the "ivory" or "pale yellow" appearance it has. White chocolate doesn't taste like milk chocolate or dark chocolate because it does not contain caffeine.

What happens to chocolate nibs during the milling process?

they are hulled to expose the nibs, the shells are sold as garden fodder, like pine bark, they grind it into a mass and the using a machine known as a Conching machine work it with rollers to expose the cocoa butter and make what is known as "Chocolate Liquor", it is then sweetened, or has milk and sugar added for either dark chocolate or milk, now for cocoa an alkaline is added and it is dried a lot like sugar is processed into a powder, white chocolate has only got cocoa butter which is derived from the cocoa mass when converting it to liquor. OR................. An even better answer would be this. The milling process releases the nibs liquid. It's called chocolate liquor, (with no alchol content of course!). The machine passes the nibs through presetts of millstones and the heat generator causes the liquid to change into chocolate liquor. Then the chocolate liquor is pumped into presses. Hydraulic pressure extracts cocoa butter from the chocolate liquor, leaving the cocoa solids. Chocolate liquor and some additional cocoa butter is added back into the manufactory process in precise amounts to make different types of chocolates. But the cakes of solid cocoa are what is left after the removal of cocoa butter. When the cakes are cooled, pulverized, and milled they become cocoa powder.


What would happen if chocolate is left outside on a hot summer day?

If chocolate is left outside on a hot summer day, it will likely melt and become soft and gooey. The heat can cause the cocoa butter in the chocolate to soften and lose its shape. It's best to store chocolate in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.

Why did they make white chocolate?

This is because it does not contains chocolate at all. White chocolate has cocoa butter in it which gives it a lighter color compared to other chocolates which have chocolate "tonic" ,which is the main part of what is produced when you cook the chocolate. Cocoa butter which is also in some lotions is the "creme" of the chocolate "tonic" and rises to the top when cooked.

How can you use cocoa nibs to make chocolate?

To make chocolate from cocoa nibs you need to grind the nibs up then add them to cocoa butter, sugar and nonfat milk powder. The next step is to put all the ingredients in a powerful wet grinder after melting it. When left to cool you have homemade chocolate.


Is melted chocolate recoverable?

Well...yes, because you melt chocolate when you work with it. Having said that, there are really two answers to this question. Chocolate has to be melted in a certain way when you work with it. It's called tempering, and it melts the cocoa butter into the chocolate properly. If you tempered some chocolate to use in a recipe or to make some candy or something, and you didn't get any water in it, you can remelt the leftovers and make something else out of them. OTOH, if you left the chocolate in the trunk of your car, it wasn't melted right and, when it hardens, you'll get this weird film of cocoa butter on the surface. You're just gonna have to eat that because it won't work right when you melt it. (I know it's a terrible penance to have to eat two or three pounds of chocolate, but you do what you must.)
