18 Jul What Goes Into Atlanta’s Top Candy: Chocolate
Have you ever wondered how that yummy chocolate bar you love goes from a simple cocoa bean to a delicious treat? Well, let’s take a peek behind the scenes! We’re going to share how the magic happens because at Georgia Vending Services, we’re all about bringing the best sweets to your break room. Whether you use snack vending machines or an Atlanta micro market, we can help make every break a little sweeter.
From Bean to Chocolate
It all starts with cocoa seeds. These little beans go through some special processes like fermenting, roasting, and crushing to become cocoa liquor. This is the base for all chocolate, whether it’s a candy bar from the vending machine or a chocolate-covered office pantry snack. Dark chocolate, known for being healthy, has lots of cocoa and not much else. Milk chocolate, on the other hand, adds milk and sugar for that smooth, sweet taste we all love.
Chocolate Bars for Your Break Room
To make cocoa liquor into a bar or kiss uses a process called conching. It involves mixing liquor to create a smooth texture. Next, is the most vital step — tempering. The heating and cooling process of tempering gives a shiny look and slows melting. If not tempered correctly, it can get a fat bloom. If you’ve ever left chocolate in a hot car and then tried to harden it back up in the freezer, the uncontrolled temp change can give it a whitish appearance. That is fat bloom. At Georgia Vending Services, we’re serious about quality. That’s why we make sure chocolate treats arrive at your break room looking and tasting their best, without any unwanted bloom.
Tasty Powders
Chocolate can come as powder as well. Think of hot cocoa or a tasty topping for your Atlanta office coffee. It can really add that extra oomph of flavor to the day. To make the powder, the cocoa liquor must be pressed. This removes part of the cocoa butter or fat. The compressed cocoa is then ground into the powder, often with sugar, so you can sprinkle and mix it into hot cocoa.
