Post fermentation comes the process of drying out the cocoa beans. Unroasted the beans are bitter but smokey 👌 #ediblehistory #ediblehistorytravels #chocolate #hotelchocolat #beantobar #farmtotable #cocoa #roast #fermentation #grow #farm #food #history #stlucia #rabotestate

Merle showing us how it's done! After the cocoa pod is split open, the seeds are picked off and put in a wooden box, covered with green banana leaves to ferment for 7 days...temperatures can reach 120 degrees during fermentation! Don't forget to stir the beans 3 times a day.... #ediblehistory #ediblehistorytravels #farmtotable #chocolate #cocoa #cocoabean #grow #fermentation #beantobar #hotelchocolat
