Cocoa

In plain wordsCocoa is the processed product of the cacao bean — fermented, dried, roasted and ground to make chocolate, cocoa powder and cocoa butter.

In 1912 a Brussels chocolatier filled a chocolate shell with a creamy centre and called it a praline. A national obsession was born — and it all runs on cocoa.
