your scientist hat on, it s just a bunch of compounds. and it s quite complex, but essentially it s just a bunch of compounds. and then thinking, well, can you make that flavour profile starting from something that s not cacao beans? could you start with potatoes or rice? and what is it made from? well, we can t tell you the secrets of exactly what we do, but our hero ingredients are barley, which has this rich tradition of being used to make whisky and beer, and also carob. and we found using this combination of fermentation and roasting, which is what you do to turn cacao into chocolate, we ve taken that principle, that philosophy, and turned these ingredients into our alt choc. and that magic of mixing now happens in the lab. talk me through the process. where does it all start? melt the fat if it needs - melting and thenjust mix it all in the melanger.
taste like chocolate ? and, you know, if you put your scientist hat on, it s just a bunch of compounds. and it s quite complex, but essentially it s just a bunch of compounds. and then thinking, well, can you make that flavour profile starting from something that s not cacao beans? could you start with potatoes or rice? and what is it made from? well, we can t tell you the secrets of exactly what we do, but our hero ingredients are barley, which has this rich tradition of being used to make whisky and beer, and also carob. and we found using this combination of fermentation and roasting, which is what you do to turn cacao into chocolate, we ve taken that principle, that philosophy, and turned these ingredients into our alt choc. and that magic of mixing now happens in the lab. talk me through the process. where does it all start? melt the fat if it needs - melting and thenjust mix it
ghana and ivory coast. and there are issues with labour in those parts of the world. at a conservative estimate, it s thought that 1.5 million it s thought that 1.5 million children are on these cacao farms, working with their families predominantly. is this, however, not taking away income from countries that really need it? those countries do need that income and those hard working farmers need to be supported, but the state of the current cacao and chocolate industry is such that those people are working on $1 or less a day and it s not an equitable trade. i started thinking, why does chocolate taste like chocolate? and, you know, when you if you put your scientist hat on, it s just a bunch of compounds and it s quite complex but, essentially, it sjust a bunch of compounds. and then thinking, well, can you make that flavour profile, starting from something that is not cacao beans? could you start with potatoes or rice? and what is it made from? well, we can t tell you the sec
eaten a lot chocolate and i started thinking, why does chocolate taste like chocolate? and, you know, if you put your scientist hat on it is just a bunch of compounds, and it is quite complex but essentially just a bunch of compounds, and then thinking, well, can you make that flavour profile starting from something that isn t meant beans? could you start with potatoes or rice? and what is it made from? well, we can t tell you the secrets of exactly what we do about our key ingredients are byellee, which has this, you know, rich tradition of being able to make whiskey and beer and also carob, and we found using this combination of fermentation and roasting, which is what you do to turn cacao into chocolate, we have taken that principle, that philosophy and turn these ingredients into this.
