Currently, we have standardized fermentation and drying protocols. The cocoa beans are fermented under controlled conditions of time and temperature in boxes and barrels fermenters.
Drying is done naturally by the sun. On days with high rainfall, the grains go through a stainless steel mechanical dryer, this guarantees a humidity of 7%.
After drying, a mechanical and manual classification are carried out to guarantee the best quality.
