Milk Chocolate Production from Conching and Tempering
Production Cost Report | Food and Beverages
Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024 | From $ USD
This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of Milk Chocolate production via conching and tempering processes. The manufacturing process of Milk Chocolate starts with cleaning, roasting, and winnowing cocoa beans to separate the nibs, followed by grinding them to obtain chocolate liquor. Cocoa butter and cocoa powder are extracted during grinding. The liquor is blended with sugar, milk, and cocoa butter to prepare a smooth paste, which is refined through conching to develop flavor and texture, with additional cocoa butter and lecithin added for smoothness and to remove the bitterness. Finally, the chocolate is tempered by controlled heating and cooling to get a glossy finish and firm structure, then poured into molds to solidify.
