I recently got accepted at a chocolate manufacturing plant. Seeing the meticulous artistry of how chocolate is traditionally handmade in this video, while also studying the high-capacity processes at my current plant, really makes me admire both the timeless craft and the modern mechanical marvels we've achieved as a species

@HJRsaI wonder why people don't make chocolate with honey instead of sugar? Honey is more healthy and anti-oxidant and preserves the cocoa to last longer so no conservants needed.
@iacobescuionut2459If making chocolate was easy, everybody would be doing it. My hats off to Carolina, this dedicated lady.

@aquaaqua7810Cant keep watching all the chocolate waste 😢
@Le_Marq5:24 a piece of your spatula got cut off by the blade and left in the chocolate. oops.
@MyNomDePlumeWhen I was a kid, I wanted to have a small store where I would make customised chocolates and desserts and then grew up and got to know how much of the capital it requires to start a cottage business as well..
@annu0_02Due to the intense work involved in producing this chocolate, I believe that the price of the final product is quite high, meaning that only an elite group has access to this type of chocolate. 😊
@nelqui7685Chocolate making is really an interesting venture.
I’ve made chocolate truffles before and it was like a poem.
Great video: so much valuable information on chocolate making provided eloquently by a person obviously very passionate about her craft. Thank you and may God bless you abundantly!
@brunog.8920An $11 chocolate bar made by lezzies? Nawh, I'll pass...
@seanseoltoirNow I see why Willy wonka had that chocolate waterfall.
@rf-fp7lgnot master, he is just a master theory.
@toxic_smokeI don't think it is hygienic when people are preparing foods without wearing a mask , talking while doing it , spitting saliva everywhere, NO THANKS YOU CAN KEEP YOUR CHOCOLATE 😊

@pirrracyThis was so impressive. SHE was so impressive. Her knowledge and absolute dedication are something to see.
She made watching and hearing about the process nothing less than fascinating.
And I so admire her commitment to actually going ABOVE free-trade level with the farmers.
Just wow on all counts.
3:49, MacGyvering at its best!
@tomgio1Just by looking at the beans a real connoisseur can tell you those are bad quality beans, probably you just don’t know any better and got what almost all naive importers buy. That's not real high quality chocolate.
@ajdothackLove the idea of cocoa husk tea!!!!
@s.k.1091Americans hate latinos and africans, but thats where all the wrongly cheap valued labor cocoa comes from, its laugthable
