As the festive season approaches, we invite you to discover the secrets of cocoa #fermentation. To obtain the finest, most intensely flavored #chocolates, you first need to source high-quality cocoa beans. But the real magic happens during the fermentation phase, when micro-organisms exert their transformative power. The fermentation process is essential for developing the desired aroma, taste and texture of chocolate. #Yeast, lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid #bacteria work together to break down the sugary pulp surrounding the beans, producing a series of amino acids, organic acids and aromatic compounds. This complex biochemical reaction eliminates the beans' natural bitterness and creates the characteristic aromas we associate with great chocolate - from fruity and floral to spicy and caramelized.

Today, on the Lesaffre campus, we spent a day dedicated to commitment and solidarity: ECHO Charity Day!   Thanks to our ECHO program, we carry out between 50 and 60 solidarity projects around the world every year, representing more than 300 actions since 2019. We are proud of the strong and sincere commitment of many of our employees to the charitable values that unite us.   ECHO Charity Day is a day dedicated to those who, in one way or another, are involved in solidarity projects around education, food-nutrition and the environment. It's by sharing their experience that the spirit of our ECHO program spreads to our colleagues across 5 continents. This event is also a unique opportunity to meet the associations we support throughout the year and discover their work in local communities!   To find out more about our ECHO solidarity initiative: https://bit.ly/3R29gUx #Lesaffrecares
