Kakaomasse, også kalt kakaolie eller kakaomasse, er kjernen råmaterialet for sjokolade og kakaoprodukter. Den blir fint bearbeidet fra kakaobønner gjennom en rekke trinn, og bevarer den naturlige kakaoduften samtidig som den gir en jevn tekstur. Så, hvordan lages den?
Kakaopastaproduktionslinje
A cocoa paste production line typically consists of a roaster, cocoa bean peeling machine, grinder, mixing tank, storage tank, and conveyor and control systems. It enables continuous processing from cocoa beans to smooth cocoa paste.

Fermenteringsprosess
Cocoa beans, often still coated with pulp, enter the fermentation stage. They can be piled on banana leaves or wooden boards, covered with leaves, or placed in wooden boxes. Fermentation typically lasts 5–7 days.
Risting av kakaobønner
Rist bærene ved en bestemt temperatur. Steking fjerner den rå, bitre smaken og fremhever den unike kakaoluften. Steketiden og temperaturen justeres basert på bønneopprinnelse og sort.
Skrelling og knusing
Etter risting blir kakaoskallene sprø. En skallingsmaskin fjerner skallet og etterlater de spiselige kakaonibs. Disse nibs knuses videre for å forberede til maling.
Grinding
Cocoa nibs contain about 50–55% cocoa butter. Under a high-speed grinder, heat generated during grinding melts the cocoa butter, turning the solid particles into a smooth, thick paste—this is what we call cocoa paste.
Homogenisering
In industrial production, cocoa paste may be further processed using a homogenizer to improve smoothness. Some manufacturers also blend in cocoa butter or powdered sugar as needed to create cocoa products for different applications.
