Making Chocolate

Chocolate is made by putting cocoa beans, cinnamon bark and almonds in the hopper of a grinder at the molino. Sugar goes in the chute since it doesn't need to be ground. Each family has their own preferences and chooses the proportions. During grinding, the chocolate is heated by the grinding stones and comes out as a liquid. The mix is ground two more times, each time with a finer grind. This molinero still has all his fingers.

  1. Do you have your favorite proportions or are you still experimenting?

  2. The testing is being handled very scientifically and repeated very often in order to obtain large numbers of data.
