COCOA BEANS
We can supply cocoa beans in jute bags weighing 65 kg, big bags weighing 500 and 1000 kg or in bulk in containers weighing up to 20 tons.
The cocoa beans or simply cocoa, are almond-shaped seeds contained in the fruit of the chocolate tree (Theobroma cacao). The fruit contains, in addition to the pulp, from 30 to 50 fairly large seeds of light (usually pale lilac) color, arranged in five rows. Cocoa beans consist of 40-50% of the fat, called cocoa butter, and the solids from which cocoa powder is obtained. The shell, which is easily detachable from the beans, is crushed into a meal called cocoa vella.
S-TRADE buys goods directly in the countries of origin, handling a process of sampling to ensure quality, and arranging all the logistics of cocoa beans from farms in West Africa and Latin America to the doors of your factory.
All goods are accepted with 100% control of international survey companies in accordance with FCC rules.

After fermenting, drying and roasting, cocoa beans are crushed into cocoa vella and cocoa nibs. Preheated cocoa nibs are finely ground on rollers or special mills into ground cocoa, from which cocoa butter is squeezed out under high pressure on hydraulic presses.
