- Today we're on a field trip to the Dominican Republic to learn how cacao fermentation works at Zorzal Cacao. Chuck teaches us the basic science behind fermentation and their particular methodology at his Fermentorium. We get to see step by step of the process from cracking the pods to loading them into the boxes. Learn more about Zorzal Cacao here: zorzalcacao.com/

There is a typo in the subtitles: correct spelling is "acetic acid"
Do u have snapchat
This channel is so interesting! You could develop vegan chocolates, including white (with almond paste, coconut milk powder...), but that would mean no animal labor involved in the process chain.. it would be amazing
If you have a good knowledge of beans, I have machines so we could collaborate to make it. We make vegan chocolate spreads in India. Small scale as of now, but plan to launch good chocolates, thing is I am not too sure of which nibs to buy. I have tried 1 set. 2 more I'll try making next week to see how they taste overall.
Very interesting technique re fermentation. Thanks for sharing!
Keep making good chocolates for us! Thank you! I wish I can taste your chocolates in Korea soon.
Hi Dylan.
My family has a small farm in Dominican Republic.
Do you guys offer assistant for the fermentation process ?
So they already have sugar and yeast in them? So they just ferment themselves? Nothing else has to be added?
Good job sir!
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolute brilliant
Excellent info
Thx.
what is the volume of the box and the maximum capacity in kilos?
Hey, this is very informative. How many total days is cacao totally ferment?
I thought he said six in the video.
Where to get the fermenter container.
Hey there! Our latest episode demonstrates how to build a fermentation box! Let us know if you find it helpful.
What if we keep the beens in one box for 7 days...??
Just stir the beans from top to bottom on day 3 or 4.
It would be difficult to stir. Easier to stir by moving it from box to box.
Need help the first box dont have any hole in the bottom
yes....the box would not be 100% seal in the bottom. The juice of the pulp needs to leak out somehow
Why do some of my beans mold?
Why does the box have to change?
Probably to keep their rotation and scheduling in some order??
Which wood were used to made the boxes?
some that I know used untreated mahogany wood
Hey! Could you please explain why the box is changed from time to time? why not done in the same box?
Perhaps it would be difficult to mix properly in one box. By moving it from box to box, you get to, inadvertently, mix the cocoa beans. Also, I am thinking that the residual resident microflora at different stages reside within the designated boxes, hanging out in the crevices.
@@kolawole3203 i think to air the beans. 2 days of inaerobic (no air) then to aerobic (w/ air) stage of fermentation
@@mrbisaya yeah but what about box 3 and 4? what are they for
@@lucasrenz3984 same principle. To air out the beans. I have small amount of beans during my fermentation, I just use my hands to move them around. If you have about 50 kgs, easiest would be by using the buckets/box. From top, then gradually towards the bottom
@@mrbisaya Thank you
What is the best wood to use for ferment boxes?
Any wood that has no innate smell and is resistant ( in general ) to humidity and acidity
Do you have any wood in particular you would recommend?
Not gonna lie, that was a very confusing explanation going around in circles of the theory of fermentation, skipping out crucial information
There is not acidic acid, is acetic acid or vinegar.
Is this true that All choco powder available in world have Cockroaches / Insects as a ingredients in it ?
Most produce does.
It can't be avoided to have insects enter the fermentation boxes. However, the cocoa seeds are dried out in the sun for 6-7 days. Then, roasted on fire before grinding. Surely these processes can kill any insect and bacteria.
everything youve ever eaten has had some kind of minor contamination of exactly that sort, literally for your entire life.
@@makoygaara it definitely can be avoided. It would just increase production costs. A bunch of wooden crates with some burlap over the top in an open space isn’t exactly the most advanced, bulletproof method.
ok so its day 3 where the beans are pink. im bout to make pink chocolate!
1:26
your end product will not taste very good. sour
Too bad you don't tell us why they need to be fermented..
Acetic* acid, not "acidic" acid.
ACETIC acid, mr subtitler! not acidic, lol.
all the talk about the best quality beans and then the guy is standing on them with his shoes. i get that it's roasted after but when you're on a farm theres some nasty stuff on the ground.
Big fan of the channel but sorry dislike here, those noisy people at the background gave me headache i couldn't hear a thing...
t is not the best chocolate you could fine. I googled best chocolate in the world and Malagos didn't show up. Then, i googled the best country that produces CHOCOLATE and Philippines did not show either. Other best Chocolate is ORGANIC and the quality is great.
Thats because best chocolate is produced in Ecuador not Philippines
