Natural vanilla extract is used in the best and most expensive chocolates. Tasting these chocolates is an experience you should try. Nothing compares to the complex flavour of real natural vanilla extract. Sorry to say those chocolates made with vanillin  and ethyl vanillin are not as good!

Chocolate = Cocoa + vanilla

 

 

Chocolate is still an elusive flavour to perfect and has many different profiles. A combination of roast, fermented beans,vanilla and cooked milk.

Production of Chocolate

Coffee flavour is complex and simple at the same time. Still furfuryl mercaptan dominates but more naturalness with complexity is obtained with vanillin, pyrazines and furaneol. The chemistry of the breakdown of furfuryl mercaptan is a massive problem.

Well they say coffee comes from Brazil, but some fine coffee is grown in Australia and Papau New Guinea too!
