Cocoa has been known to people for a long time. It was first tasted by the Indians in Peru and called it "food of the gods." Cocoa fruits grow on trees. The fruit is large up to 35 cm inside and there are cocoa beans. Currently grown in South and Central America, Africa, Malaysia, Indochina. Climate and soil differ greatly, which is why cocoa fruits have different sizes and tastes. And further processing varies considerably. Cocoa beans are supplied to our country from all growing regions. Further processing of cocoa beans is carried out in chocolate and confectionery factories. After processing, semi-finished products are obtained from the beans - cocoa butter, cocoa powder and cocoa vella.
