The Secret Life of Chocolate (From Bean to Bar)

from The Off The Menu Podcast · host Joel Nepa, Wal Ozello, and Tom Clemens

Chocolate is everywhere—but most people have no idea how it’s actually made. In this episode, we talk with Stephen Durfee of Dandelion Chocolate about the journey from cacao bean to chocolate bar, what “bean-to-bar” really means, and why sourcing and process completely change the flavor. It’s a look at chocolate as craft—not candy—and why it tastes so good.
