Roasting Cocoa Beans

Text

*To further develop the flavor in raw cocoa beans, manufacturers roast beans.* While there are many different methods for roasting beans, care and attention is a must in order to develop the best flavor.

Most people think cocoa beans are roasted in the same manner as coffee beans; however, due to their delicate nature, cocoa beans are roasted at much lower temperatures.

Since different beans require different roasting times, the process must be monitored closely to avoid over-roasting. Over-roasted beans will result in off flavors which cannot be corrected.
