Resumen:

The process to obtain chocolate from cocoa (Theobroma cacao) pods usually takes 2 to 8 days and includes steps like harvesting, fermentation, drying and roasting. Each of these steps plays a role in the process and depends on the type of cocoa that will be processed, the weather, the kind of chocolate that will be obtained as well as other factors. It is a carefully conducted process that starts with an appropriate cultivation of the tree until roasted cocoa beans with the desired flavor, color and texture are obtained. Each step is important and would need to be controlled in order to obtain good quality chocolate; however, the substrate, as well as the microbiota are complex, and not completely understood. © 2017 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
