What bacteria is in chocolate?

Chocolate is prepared with the help of microbes. Chocolate comes from the seeds of cacao trees. These seeds are in a white fleshy pod. To get the seeds out of the pod, the pod is allowed to ferment with naturally occurring microbes that include yeasts and bacteria that produce an acid that helps to eat away the seed pod cacao beans. Fermentation lasts for 7 days and is carried out by microbes which occur naturally on the plant.Unfermented beans do not produce chocolate flavour so chocolate can only be made with the help of microbes.
