What Chocolate Actually Is—From Cocoa Tree to Chocolate Ingredient (Episode 1)

What do we really mean when we say chocolate? In this first episode of the series, we strip chocolate back to its foundations — starting with the cocoa tree itself, where chocolate truly begins. You’ll learn what qualifies a product as chocolate, where cocoa grows, the different types of cocoa beans, and why fermentation and drying are essential long before chocolate ever reaches a factory. This episode explains: • What cocoa is — and what chocolate must contain • Where cocoa grows and why climate matters • The main cocoa varieties and how they differ in flavour • How fermentation creates chocolate flavour • Why drying, storage, and transport matter This video is part of an ongoing series that explains chocolate clearly, precisely, and without marketing myths — one concept at a time, in under ten minutes. ▶ Next episodes will cover sugar, milk, and how ingredients interact to shape texture, flavour, and flow.
