Chocolate

Chocolate
Chocolate is the product made by grinding freshly-roasted and winnowed cocoa nibs. It contains 50 – 55% cocoa butter. When freshly made, it is liquid due to the heat generated by the milling process. This bitter chocolate liquor is usually cooled in molds to facilitate later handling. Milk chocolate is made from it by blending the liquor with sugar, milk solids and usually vanilla or some other flavoring such as cassia or cinnamon.
