The cocoa bean is the seed of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao), a tropical plant indigenous to the equatorial regions of the Americas. From the processed cocoa bean comes the fluid paste, or liquor, from which cocoa powder and chocolate are made.Theobroma cacao grows pods on both its branches and trunk. Growers have to be very careful not to damage the cacao tree when harvesting them. Because it is such a delicate task, pods are picked by hand. Each bean is made of about 50% of a fat called cocoa butter. The beans are 20% protein and also contain water, as well as a large amount of nutrients such as theobromine and vitamins. The beans also contain starch and other minerals.Each pod contains 16 to 60 cocoa beans. You have to extract the fruits contents to get at its beans, in a process known as de-seeding.When fresh, beans look like seeds covered in a white, sticky pulp called mucilage. They can be eaten as they are. However, if we want to store them for later use, we have to ferment and then dry them. We can also roast them.
Indonesian cocoa is highly regarded for its exceptional flavor, quality, and versatility, making it a preferred choice for chocolate and cocoa-based products globally. Grown primarily in Sulawesi, Sumatra, and Papua, it benefits from Indonesia's tropical climate, fertile volcanic soil, and traditional farming techniques, which result in beans with distinct and rich flavor profiles. The cocoaâ??s robust, full-bodied taste, with earthy, floral, and fruity notes, is particularly favored by premium chocolate makers.
The Indonesian cocoa industry stands out for its sustainability focus, with beans often grown without chemical fertilizers, promoting both environmental preservation and organic practices.
