When they are ripe, the cocoa pods are cut from the tree with a machete.

Then the seeds are removed. Each pod contains about 30 to 50 – about seven bars of chocolate can be made out of
these.

Once the cocoa seeds have been harvested, the raw cocoa beans are
covered and fermented for about five days.

When the beans are dry they are sorted.

The beans are turned over several times each day. The drying process lasts from
five to seven days. The cocoa seeds become cocoa beans during this time.

From there ´they are shipped all over the world.
