Cocoa tastes flavourful and thus no need to add anything into it

Much of the chocolate that we tend to eat are always made of cocoa blended from different farms, areas, or maybe countries. However, Ms Vicinanza-Bedi argues that the use of a single variety of bean, from only one farm, provides the chocolate with a unique flavor.

She has mentioned that 'we directly trade with our farmers and check the quality of beans.' 'We do the cut check, weight check, moisture analysis, aroma check and pilot line taste,' she added.

Scientists have been trying to analyze from where does these special flavors comes from, in order to reproduce them more systematically.

Prof. Irene Chetschik is the head of the Research Group for Food Chemistry at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). She has been developing new technological processes that may create an impact on cocoa flavor on a molecular level in order to urge the best out of every harvest and build a consistency in the quality.

She has notified that 'now more appreciation will be there for the product as we all know where the bean is coming from, which farm, which kind of variety which we could experience a wider flavor diversity.'

Traditionally, cocoa beans are fermented on the farm wherever they were grownup. The poorly fermented cocoa beans develop very little flavor, whereas over-fermented beans turn out to produce an acidic taste.

To get a better understanding of the fermentation method can help the struggling farmers. Around 95% of cocoa is grownup on tiny, family-run farms, which could be around six million cocoa farmers worldwide. With low yield and small power, increasing profits within the sector are not able to reach cocoa farmers and like this plenty of farmers have to live a life in chronic poverty.

Cocoa is absolutely flavorful as it tastes the best. As there have been numerous flavor-active molecules so there would be no requirements for adding anything at all.
