1:Itshokholethi iyakhula emithini.Zibizwa ngokuba yimithi yecocoa yeTheobroma kwaye inokufunyanwa ikhula kwibhanti ejikeleze umhlaba, ngokubanzi phakathi kwama-20 degrees ngasentla okanye emazantsi eikhweyitha.

2:Imithi yekoko kunzima ukuyikhulisa njengoko isesichengeni sezifo, kwaye imidumba isenokutyiwa zizinambuzane nezinambuzane ezahlukahlukeneyo.Imidumba ivunwa ngesandla.Ezi zinto zidityanisiwe, zichaza ukuba kutheni itshokolethi emsulwa kunye nekoko zibiza kangaka.

3:Kuthatha iminyaka emine ubuncinci phambi kokuba isithole secocoa siqalise ukuvelisa icocoa pods.Ekuvuthweni, umthi we-cocoa unokukhupha malunga nama-40 e-cocoa pods ngonyaka.I-pod nganye ingaba ne-30-50 yeembotyi ze-cocoa.Kodwa kufuneka uninzi lwezi mbotyi (malunga nama-500 eembotyi zekoko) ukuvelisa iponti enye yetshokolethi.

4:Zintathu iindidi zetshokholethi.Itshokholethi emnyama iqulethe ipesenti ephezulu yekoko, ngokubanzi kwi-70% okanye ngaphezulu.Ipesenti eseleyo ngokuqhelekileyo iswekile okanye uhlobo oluthile lwe-sweetener yendalo.Itshokholethi yobisi iqulethe naphi na ukusuka kwi-38-40% ukuya phezulu ukuya kwi-60% ye-cocoa yetshokholethi yobisi olumnyama, kunye nepesenti eseleyo iqulethwe kubisi kunye neswekile.Itshokholethi emhlophe iqulethe kuphela ibhotolo yekoko (akukho bunzima bekoko) kunye neswekile, rhoqo ineziqhamo okanye amandongomane adityaniswe incasa.

5:Umenzi wetshokholethi ngumntu owenza itshokolethi ngqo kwiimbotyi zekoko.I-chocolatier ngumntu owenza itshokolethi esebenzisa icouverture(Itshokolethi yeCouverture yitshokholethi ekumgangatho ophezulu kakhulu equlathe ipesenti ephezulu yebhotolo yekoko (32-39%) kunokubhaka okanye ukutya itshokolethi. Itshokholethi ecwebe ngakumbi, i-firmer "snap" xa yophukile, kunye nencasa ekhrim ethambileyo.), itshokolethi esele ivundisiwe kwaye yosiwe kwaye iza (ngokusasaza intengiso) kwiitafile okanye iidiski zokucaphuka kwechocolatier kwaye yongeze. iincasa zabo.

6:Ingqikelelo yezinto ze-terroir kwincasa yetshokholethi.Oko kuthetha ukuba i-cocoa ekhuliswe kwindawo enye inokungcamla okwahlukileyo kunekoko ekhule kwilizwe elahlukileyo (okanye kwimeko yelizwe elikhulu, ukusuka kwelinye icala lelizwe ukuya kwelinye, kuxhomekeke ekuphakameni kwayo, ukusondela emanzini, kwaye yintoni ezinye izityalo imithi yekoko ikhuliswa ecaleni kwayo.)

7: Kukho iintlobo ezintathu eziphambili zecocoa pods, kunye nenani elikhulu lee-sub-varietals.ICriollo yeyona ntlobo inqabileyo kwaye inqweneleka kakhulu ngencasa yayo.I-Arriba kunye ne-Nacional zizinto ezahlukeneyo ze-Criollo kwaye zithathwa njengeyona ncasa igqibeleleyo, i-cocoa enevumba elimnandi emhlabeni.Zidla ngokukhuliswa eMzantsi Melika.I-Trinitario yikhokho ephakathi kwebanga eliphakathi engumxube weCriollo kunye neForastero, ikhokho yebakala elikhulu esetyenziselwa ukwenza i-90% yetshokholethi emhlabeni.

8: Malunga ne-70% yecocoo yehlabathi ilinywa eNtshona Afrika, ngakumbi amazwe ase-Ivory Coast naseGhana.La ngamazwe apho ukusetyenziswa kwabantwana kwiifama ze-cocoa kube negalelo kwicala elimnyama letshokolethi.Ngombulelo, iinkampani ezinkulu ezithenga le cocoa ukwenza i-chocolate candy ziye zatshintsha iindlela zabo, kwaye zala ukuthenga i-cocoa kwiifama apho kusetyenzwa khona abantwana okanye kusenokusetyenziswa.

I-10:Ukutya i-cocoa nibs ecocekileyo (amaqhekeza eembotyi zekoko ezomisiweyo) okanye ipesenti ephezulu yetshokholethi emnyama ilungile kumzimba wakho.Zininzi izibonelelo zempilo ezinxulumene nokutya itshokolethi ecocekileyo emnyama, ngakumbi, into yokuba inepesenti ephezulu yokulwa nezifo kunye ne-flavonols xa kuthelekiswa nakuphi na okunye ukutya kwamandla emhlabeni.
