** NEW REFERRAL LINK TO MIAMI FRUIT - the small independent business where I sourced my cacao pods: miamifruit.org?aff=63 **
Have you ever wondered how chocolate is made?
Alright, let’s go from cacao pod to chocolate bar today on this super-intensive video. I am not going to lie, although this was a lot of fun, it was also a lot of hard work.
In total, this process took me over 2 months, not because the process takes this long, but because I messed up a few times had to start over, as well as deal with some week-long camera issues that didn’t allow me to film. However in my folly, I learned a lot, and I hope to pass what I learned on so you don’t make the same pitfalls I did.
Chocolate making is a very complicated and intricate process, but today, I am going to show you my simplistic attempt at making chocolate, however, even with my plebian attempt at chocolate, it still turned out really well.
Chocolate making has more or less 4 steps:
0:00 Intro
2:04 Fermentation
3:49 Drying and roasting
5:34 Grinding
7:59 Heating and forming

Imagine all the 99.99% of these experiments where it turns out to be absolutely awful, but still important because without them we wouldn't have things like chocolate. So, thank you crazy people who ate all the fermented and awful foods that turned out to be dead ends...
Lets be honest, chocolate was invented because like everything else, someone tried making alcohol out of it and didn't know what to do with the leftovers
Wow

That is the role of most discoveries....mistakes turning out with benefits haha
That's it. That's the history of food.
Sounds about right.
"Chocolate making is hard"

As he sets his army of slave Oompa-Loompas to do his bidding! I mean, seriously! This guy wants us to believe that Oompa-Loompas lived in a ferocious jungle, eating mashed caterpillars, and yet somehow became the best chocolatiers in the world?! Heck no! Loompaland must have been an amazing place at one time for the Oompa-Loompas to have acquired those skills. Tell me, how do you think those whangdoodles and snozzwangers came to the remote reaches of Loompaland in the first place? Something tells me Mr. Wonka might know something he's not letting on about.

No, what most people didn't know is the actual taste of the fruit itself when it's fresh. Try one you wouldn't regret it. It tastes kind of similar to a Philippine fruit called guyabano but on a mellow side.
I'm brazillian and i've eaten several of them fresh. It isn't too much of my liking but oh boy my family sure loves it
I knew it lol. I when I first saw the thumbnail I thought “wait cacao beans look like Guayaba or Guanabana!!”
its really really good actually. my family in south india grew this and my cousin’s grandpa gave me the seeds and i would suck on the seeds to get the fruit out and it was actually really good and tasty

I am Indonesian and lived in the countryside when I was kids. I remember, me and my friends, we often ate the cocoa seeds like a candy and spit out the seeds after the sweet sour white part outside disappeared. We picked it from the neighbor’ garden. The fruit make me feel nostalgic. Nice video btw!
Dang. Prices on chocolate seem real cheap now given how labor intensive it is.
Slave labor + factory processes
Well, it's not labor intensive at all, when you can automate most of the processes, AND double/triple/quadruple the yield by milkifying the chocolates, dark chocolate can be pretty expensive though, depends on the purity you buy. :P
All of a sudden the pricing makes sense. :D
Here in India, Coco beans are very cheap. Please let me know if anybody wants huge amount Coco. I can export. Thanks - Jerin Mathew
Prices are indeed cheap. Reason is CHILD LABOR
I live in Jamaica and those 'cocopods' we just call them chocolate and we eat it raw when we want to. I really enjoyed climbing the trees and picking them with my cousins. They're actually delicious and don't taste as disgusting as you think they look. They were a huge part of my childhood I can definitely say.
Indeed the white membrane surrounding them (not the seed itself) is tasty and edible
Same girl same
I live in Indonesia, and we did it too! It was fun when we were child and climb the tree to pick the "chocolate" fruit
I'm from Kerala, India... Me too have same childhood memories... Even now we eat it
Same like in Indonesia we call them chocolate fruit

Yeah... A lot of things are fermented
Luckily, I already knew. 🙃
lol its clickbait
I thought the insides of the cocoa pods looked gross.
@@Nico-jc7zr it looks like the inside of a custard apple
You can also temper the chocolate just putting the chocolate bowl inside another bowl with cold water and just keep mixing the chocolate until it cools down
I guess this is why natural processed coffee has always a very dark chocolatey undertones to it, chocolate and coffee are both seeds and especially being natural processed they're both fermented within their "shells" / mucous / flesh so to speak. Fascinating.
How the hell did people back in the day even think about performing all these steps to make chocolate?
Pure curiosity. Everything ever invented was done by some crazy person who was curious to try just about anything.
@@ISILENTNINJAI As a great example most European cheeses come from priest who due to interpretation of the Bible could not eat meat most of the time. The monotony of cheese led to many priest experimenting with different methods of fermenting and cooking cheese as a way of adding variety to their limited diet.
Unfortunately the mesoamerican civilizations never developed a writing system so the origin of chocolate is lost to pre-history.
However we can guess that fermenting and drying things was pretty common, and there were probably people experimenting with different foods.
EDIT: In fact the Mayans had a well developed writing system, the Aztecs had a writing system that is poorly understood by modern scholars and the Incans did not have a writing system (instead using a sophisticated system of knot tying called Quipu).
The 4 surviving examples of Mayan written documents (the Codexes) contain extensive historical records of celestial events (including historical predictions of eclipses) so it's possible that there were more qualitative historical accounts among the countless thousands of codexes burnt by the murderous Spanish Conquistadors.
@@TonkarzOfSolSystem
They treated cocoa similar as coffee or tea didn't they? As there is some caffeine in cocoa.
Ancient cultures already get to the fermentation and roasting, there is even a traditional drink named pozol made of cacao beans and corn, but or course, the flavor is strong, when the powder was combined with milk in colonial times and was taken to Europe it became popular, and so it became a thing that get to Swiss and kinda go from the more rustic chocolate bar to the dessert it is today
"Ok so hear me out"
-some Aztec like 4,000 years ago
Bahahah
They likely fermented the beans for alcohol.
Lmao 😂
Aztecs weren't around 4,000 years ago. They were around when the Spanish arrived but did not date back even close to 1000 years ago.
@Dan
I think you may have to double check that one chief, i'd google it but I can't atm. They're def a really old civilization iirc.
here's a tip: use small commercial coffee bean grinder (looks like tiny blender). this way you can knock it while it's running, giving you a very fine powder what somewhat resembles cornstarch
Best part of making chocolate is when you add chocolate. It really comes together well.
Evidentially we all have a different idea of “disgusting” this is just fermenting. Lots of healthy foods for you are fermented .
edit: key words: lots of healthy foods are fermented but not all fermented foods are exactly healthy.
Fermented soy bean
Beer
Wine
Emily did say "healthy", alcohol is kind of a mild poison... Poison with some fun effects on the body, in moderation 🥴 but it's definitely not healthy.
We love 'em up north. red beets are yum!
The fact that chocolate takes so long to make...
But such a short time when you're eating it.
That's all foods lol
Me everytime I cook:
At least it fills your stomach up a bit?
@Team Go Green it is cheap its hard if you do it home cook but not if you use machines
Im feeling sad about the kids how doing all the job in africa
That's an incredible amount of work. I'm surprised chocolate doesn't cost more.
Probably cuz most of this process can be automated very quickly, too bad that most of the cocoa that comes out is from child work, but it's chocolate so oh well whatever
Processes can be automated, and the yield can be quadrupled when you make lighter chocolate, like milky chocolate for example...
This just leaves me wondering who the first person to sit down and figure out how to make chocolate like this was and how they even figured out "oh hey, I can turn this weird seed goop into chocolate"
Whoever discovered how to turn a bean like this into chocolate is a genius
I highly doubt it was just one person. Most likely discovered and refined through generations of trial and error.
Or nature, fermentation happened naturally it dried out and than someone ate it dried and said wow that taste good. After that generations later we have chocolate bars lol
@@adventuresdaily would still need to come up with the idea of roasting and grinding and all of the other steps etc along the way, but yeah why not. (I'm no expert)
@@Devilsharck yeah nature didnt make the chocolate bar. Clearly that would take human input. I just meant the idea probably started after the bean had already been fermented unless somebody’s really was just into fermentation and was fermenting all types of seeds and things to see what they get and discovered this. Who knows.
Mayans did

I'm from the Philippines and the Cacao fruit pretty much grows everywhere here. Growing up we had one tree at my grandmother's house and every time it bore fruit, my brother and I would consume the pulp and leave out the seeds for our grandma. I always noticed she would leave the seeds to dry in the sun and always wondered what it was for but never bothered to ask. Eventually I realized it was one of the many steps to make hot choco (locally called Sikwate). Looking back, I couldn't believe I overlooked such a wonderful skill to learn and how awesome my grandma is.

We share a common story. I’m from Colombia and when I was a child I used to do the same thing, but in my case, the first time I ate the fruit, I discarded the seeds, and my grandma got mad at me 😅😅
Fun fact, the Aztecs used Cacao beans as currency. It was someone's job to rip people's hearts out professionally, and that man was paid in chocolate.
Things like that make me glad white people conquered them 😂 No cap
@@charlesg7926 Credit should actually go to Cortes's Tlaxcalan allies. The Aztecs would have easily crushed Cortes's small exploration force if they weren't absolutely despised by all their neighbors.
@@gantzisballs the truth is that Cortes crushed them all....
@@luiginovoa68 Not with his own manpower. His entire force had 70 arquebus guns and like 5 cannons. He also had a small number of horses that the Aztec quickly figured out aren't divine beasts and will just die if you shoot arrows at them. Small pox was a factor, but didn't wipe out the whole empire in a month. Cortez's strategic alliances were the decisive factor in his victory. Although if he didn't return and the Spanish Empire actually went to war with the Aztecs, the full might of the Spanish could have crushed them without alliances.
@@charlesg7926 a bit racist lol

I would suggest using an electric coffee grinder. You can shake it while it grinds to ensure an even, consistent choc.
That's what I was saying when he was using these other methods. It's made for grinding beans so it's the best option for getting them into a fine powder. My coffee grinder was so good and my mom started using it to grind cane sugar into powdered sugar.
The fact that this was invented a long time ago, can you even imagine how they even thought of this? Seriously 😂
Probably was making alchohol and just decided to experiment with extra cocoa beans since I hear that the process isnt that different at the start
I mean cavemen made fire without knowing it exists. Many things are discovered by accident.
They didn't make chocolate bars, that was after discovering the Americas, cocoa was so precious it was even used as money. Tribes used to make a drink with it and a lot of spices and that's it, if I remember correctly, there's a legend of an Aztec emperor who ate 40kg of cocoa daily.
@@gageunruh3574 apparently alcohol and its effects were discovered by eating rotten fruit. I can imagine that in that climate there would be a lot of rotting cacao fruit, especially before this process was developed. It is then quite easy to just leave the beans out to dry/roast in the hot midday sun. Also, there was a lot more agriculture going on than these days and finding and improving products for consumption was their work.
I'm from Mexico, country where the cocoa beans were discivered by the spanish and in the history of the contry it says that the mesoamerican cultures used to use cocoa beans as a soup with chile wich made it spicy
First person to make chocolate: OOPS I just accidentally harvested, roasted, grinded and mixed all of these ingredients and made something delecious!!
The Incas are the first people to make chocolates. The white pulp is usually fermented for months to make a naturally bitter alcoholic drink which tasted like beer. Someone must have thought to just roast the seeds and grind it since it is edible. Their chocolate is very bitter though since they don't add milk or sugar
@@ShadowMoon878 Montezuma was said to have consumed 50 gold goblets full of spiced chocolate in a short time. Apparently for the libido boost. It was made with peppers, and a few other spices, iirc. Just imagine if they had sugar. He likely would have developed Diabetes.
@@mlburkh Actually it has been scientifically proven that chocolates do raise your libido. It releases the pleasure hormones much faster, giving you more "hunger" in bed.
Btw, spiced chocolate drink is still being made by the Mexicans in the Yucatan and the Peruvians, passed down by the Aztecs and the Incas. It is called Xocolatl.
I feel the same about the invention of coffee. We found those beans that taste like ass. We dry them and they still taste like ass. We roast them to make them smell good but they still taste like ass. If we grind them into a powder and mix it with hot water it still taste like ass BUT... add some milk and sugar and eventually you get used to the taste of ass and then need it every day.
The first liquid chocolate was a frothy drink held in high esteem by the Olmecs, Maya and Aztecs. The first solid chocolate was developed in Europe, which produced what would basically be candy bars.
Finally... I am not stupid anymore when it comes to chocolate... And the transformation of the bean process...first time saw documented. Thanks a lot, man!
It's absolutely amazing how much unique food we get from nature, it really is awesome to think about
The Lord really did create & blessed us abundantly with literally countless amazing thing's...especially foods!

which means the first ever made chocolate was a disappointment compared to the expectations =D
Not that far of. The pulp was highly valued in various Mesoamerican civilizations because they would ferment it.

They actually created alcoholic drinks with it so you're right.
So let me get this straight a dude who had severe alcoholic problems wanted alcohol but was too poor to afford it so he tried making his own alcohol but making alcohol was illegal so he tried to make solid form of alcohol, so he tried to make it but it was a disappointment so he gave his 5 year old nephew the "*Mysterious*" bar and his nephew ate and got drunk but when he tasted it, it was sweet so he thought of an idea mass produced it and now we have the choco........late?
The seeds look like large larvae in the beginning and almonds midway.

Native Mexican tribes first used it but not sweet , sugar with chocolate mix was by way of Europeans . Mexicans still use it for food preparation of certain dishes like Mole and forms of fermented drinks Atole
Whoever discovered how to make chocolate from this deserves recognition and respect!
That's really cool, thanks for sharing!
Guy who did this first must have been an unparalleled genius but he probably looked like a maniac. Imagine how many times he had to say “leave me alone, I know what im doing”
Is it a Kimi reference?
@@slf1239 to be honest with you, I hadn’t fully decided. Didn’t think anyone would get it if it was, but since you asked let’s say yes.
I believe they just ate the leftover seeds and liked it because chocolate makes you feel good so they grounded it and mixed with water
Chocolate as we know it came from a very long process evolution.
yeah dude things are not discovered in a vacuum, this process was build on previously known processes.
You adding chocolate to make chocolate gave me a "youbneed experience to get a job but you need to get a job to get experience" vibe
😂😅
Help me ratio the comment above (I need more likes than the comment above for funny)
You need chocolate to make chocolate. You need money to make money.
Yeah it kinda ruins the experience for me 😂 did you really make chocolate if you needed chocolate...what if we don't have chocolate for when we need to make chocolate...do we just have to work harder to express the oils than you're willing to show? 😩 I'm just going back to bed
Think of the seed chocolate like a sourdough starter or a mother of any sort like for fermenting kombucha etc.
Awesome tutorial thanks homie!
It's kinda cute that you need a piece of finished chocolate to finish your about-to-finished chocolate.
I love the fact that here in Brazil, we eat cocoa and use the seeds to make a dessert, but abroad, there are people who don't even know that chocolate comes from a fruit. In fact, we eat the "fruit" and leave the cocoa in the sun to speed up the fermentation process, the process ends in half the time
Plus, there's the effect of the saliva enzymes on the chocolate bean.
Same in Jamaica 🇯🇲
Everyone doesn't know it's from plant?
In Mexico we do all kinds of shit to chocolate due to it being domesticated from here, there’s recipes that date from thousands of years and are still being used today
same here in asia. i love the pulp of coca fruit more than the seed itself.
Wow, I'll never complain about the price of chocolate again.
ALCHOLOHOL CHOCHLOT
@@Peach_Lobot0my yes frank, alcohol chochlot
Yeah, unfortunately it’s that cheap because it’s unethically sourced using sl*ve labor.
@@Marixchatt What do you mean by slave labor? You mean people working a job?
@@hollowplastic1871 In many countries (especially Africa) there are many people who are forced into slavery to produce sugar and cocoa. Also, the people who are paid are not payed a livable wage and live in extreme poverty.
Im never going to look at chocolate the same way again.
I've never seen a cocoa pod before now. Thank you for sharing this very interesting video!
"This took me 2 months to make"
Willy Wonka: *pathetic*
"ompa duma dumpty dú there legs are weird because he broke their knees!"
Lmao
Oompa loompa doompa de doo
Someone should tell Augustus the chocolate river was poop
lmao
Imagine when you take 2 months to make a chocolate but you just take 2 minutes to finish eating it
That's why you bulk make it
This was so educational! Thanks for doing this and glad the chocolate turned out great. 😎
Thank you for sharing. This was really interesting, I had no idea how complex it was! 😊
The first people who figured out how to do this were absolute fucking madmen.
They 100% got diabetes
Yeah that gives me curious that who made the chocolate in the first place
Makes you wonder right
Curiosity happens
Its not human discovered chocolate. Its ALIEN guys
Inventor of chocolate: Trust me
Everyone: No, I don't think I will
Think about the person who figured out about milk 🤔
@Linet Akinyi uhhhhh yeahhhhhhhh

@@wickedhouston5538 I mean… he’s got a point.
found that use a low speed blender with coco butter worked well it getting less grainy and was still able to get it to align properly in the mold.
my grandma has so many cacao trees in her house. every time we visit her, she would give us cacao and we eat the juice of the beans. it's not disgusting, it's sweet if you taste it.
