Cadbury chocolate.
Coca pods are picked every few weeks in the right season. The high pods are cut with big knives attached to poles, so the workers don't cut any flowers or buds. The pods are collected in big baskets, which workers carry on their heads, then they are piled up ready for splitting.
Start.
The production starts at the Singapore cocoa factory where the best cocoa beans are processed to produce the cocoa mass which contains 53% cocoa and cocoa butter this is the basis for all chocolate products.
When chocolate is made, the 'mass' goes straight to the Cadbury factories. Then fresh cream milk is collected and condensed it is then transported to the factories. Sugar is added to the condensed milk with some of the cocoa mass, making a rich creamy chocolate liquid, which is then made into milk chocolate crumb.
When at the chocolate factory, the crumb is passed through a pin mill and mixed with cocoa liquor and cocoa butter, as well as special chocolate flavouring. Thick chocolate is needed for moulded blocks, and a thinner chocolate is used for covering chocolate bars.
Both milk and dark chocolate undergo the same final production stages - refining, conching and tempering - which produces the smoothness, gloss and snap of Cadbury chocolate.
Conching involves mixing and beating the semi-liquid mixture to make the flavour, removing unwanted flavours reducing the viscosity and particle size. Tempering is the final complex stage which involves mixing and cooling the liquid chocolate under carefully controlled conditions to ensure that the fat in the chocolate crystallises in its stable form.
Blocks of solid chocolate, including bars with added ingredients such as nuts and other fillings, are known in the industry as 'moulded' products. Tempered chocolate is poured into bar-shaped moulds, shaken and cooled, then the moulded blocks continue to speed wrapping plants. some of them can produce 700 blocks per minute.
When all the chocolate is packaged it gets put into boxes into trucks that take them to the shops that sell it.
