The cocoa beans, once
sorted and roasted to perfection, are put through a custom built
"flinger" which removes their shells and leaves the pure chocolate
"nib". The all-Hawaiian nibs are ground into a chocolate liquor paste
inside our highly specialized Conche/Refiner.
At this point cocoa
butter, sugar, vanilla powder, and/or milk powder is added ~ depending
on whether dark or milk chocolate is being made.
After a second
conching of up to 12 hours, lecithin is added to turn the batch into
a creamy, rich, pure Hawaiian chocolate fluid.
The chocolate is then
tempered and molded ~ creating solid Original Hawaiian Chocolate
Factory bars.
