THE CADBURY DAIRY MILK CHOCOLATE JOURNEY

All good things take time, the process from cocoa bean to your  mouth is long, but it’s worth the wait.

STEP 1

Farmer’s harvest

The road to tastiness starts with the picking of many cocoa pods by cocoa farmers. The cocoa in Cadbury Dairy Milk milk chocolate is sourced from Cocoa Life. Once the beans are removed from the pods, they are coated in a sweet white pulp which is fermented and left to dry.

STEP 2

Processing cocoa beans

The beans are cracked to separate the shell from the nib, then we roast the beans until they are dark and rich in colour to accentuate the natural flavours and aromas of the nibs.

STEP 3

Grounding cocoa nibs

The nibs are ground to produce a thick liquid called cocoa mass. Some of this is pressed to separate cocoa butter from the compressed solid cocoa.

STEP 4

Shipping cocoa powder to the factory

Once the solid cocoa is ground, we are left with the familiar powdery goodness, cocoa powder. The cocoa, cocoa powder and cocoa butter are then shipped to the Cadbury Factory in Tasmania.

STEP 5

The cocoa liquor

At the Cadbury Factory, the cocoa is generously mixed with milk as well as sugar to form a chocolate liquor, which is evaporated to make a chocolate crumb. Thousands of litres of milk are provided by Tasmanian dairy farmers. More chocolate liquor and other ingredients are added to form a liquid.
