CocoTerra in Europe!

This summer, our CEO, Nate Saal, traveled to Europe and took the opportunity to check out some of the incredible chocolate makers across the region.

It’s been especially exciting to see that some of these makers are using CocoTerra Pro to develop recipes, test small batches, and explore new chocolate creations.

The CocoTerra Pro feedback has been fantastic, and we’re thrilled that all our makers will be using their CocoTerra Pro machines for another year.

We’re grateful for the feedback, the conversations, and the opportunity to be part of their chocolate-making journey.

We can’t wait to see what they create next!

Did you know that chocolate is a fermented food? If you didn’t, well, it actually is! Chocolate undergoes a fermentation process similar to that of making w**e and vinegar. Fermentation is a critical step in chocolate flavor development as it significantly reduces bitterness and astringency in the cocoa beans while enhancing chocolatey, fruity, and floral notes. Make sure to thank the microbes!

What is a cauliflory?

Did you know that the cacao tree (theobroma cacao) is an example of cauliflory? If you're wondering what that means, keep reading to find out!

Cacao is a type of tree that produces flowers and fruits directly on its main trunk and older branches, rather than from new growth at the tips of its branches (which is how most of the fruit you eat grows). This fascinating growth habit is called cauliflory.

In cauliflorous trees, flowers bloom and fruits form along the main trunk and branches, often near the ground. This unique trait is thought to be an evolutionary adaptation that makes the fruits easier for ground-dwelling animals, like rodents and primates, to access and help spread the seeds.

Can chocolate go bad? 🍫😬
Yes—but chocolate doesn't go bad as quickly as most other foods. The chances are that you will eat it long before it goes bad. Like most other products that include fats, chocolate can go rancid over time, especially if it’s regularly exposed to heat, air, or light. That funky crayon-like smell? That’s a sign your chocolate's fat (cocoa butter) has oxidized.

💡 Tip: Store your chocolate in a cool, dark place—not the fridge—to keep it fresh and delicious for longer.
