I worked for Schrafft's Chocolates in Boston, MA for two summers in a row as a food chemist. I literally saw every aspect of the operation from inspection of the cocoa beans to the finished product. Yum Yum. What a delightful experience. I certainly appreciated this video of Guittard Chocolate. Brought back some amazing memories working in such a demanding operation. Never got tired of sampling the product. The factory used to produce up to 14,000 lbs. of chocolate mints during a busy production week. Schrafft's no longer exists, but the old building sign with its pink letters has become an historical landmark.

Wonderful video for anyone interested in high-end chocolates. I am impressed by Mr. Guittard's knowledge and passion for chocolate. "...there's lots of different kinds of genetics going on. It's not just one genetic." Hidden in this comment on beans by Mr. Guittard is the secret to rapidly creating trees bearing "all natural" designer beans unlike any others on earth today. The Malaysian Cocoa Board calls them Renaissance cocoa beans.

@kotkaconforza
@kotkaconforza 10 місяців тому
In my understanding the reason why American mass produced chocolate tastes weird, has nothing to do with the cacao, but the milk they use in the milk chocolate. It gets treated with butyric acid, for preservation reasons. In Europe and many other places this procedure is not used. And I'm sure Guittard doesn't do it either.
@PhantomFilmAustralia
@PhantomFilmAustralia 10 місяців тому
@@kotkaconforza That's correct. Cacao, by and large is relatively consistent across the board. Butyric acid turns the milk the way stomach acids do, which is why it has a taste reminiscent of vomit. Vastly elevating the level of sugar attempts to counter that taste but contributes the compound to adopt a sour taste. Any American chocolate should be purchased from a very small or independent producer.
