Process
Design
We designed the invader in 3D CAD.
Machining
Our design was produced on a CNC machine to create our mold. The metal plate was then used to thermoform plastic, creating the molds we use to shape the chocolate into an invader.
Beans
Single origin cocoa beans are sorted by hand to remove any foreign materials or less than perfect quality beans.
Roasting
Once the beans are slowly roasted the shells are removed.
Ingredients
We mix cocoa with evaporated cane juice and cocoa butter.
Grinding
The cocoa grinds in a granite melangeur for 4 days. When complete, its texture is extremely smooth and the flavor is nuanced and in balance.
Tempering and Molding
Once finished, the chocolate is tempered and molded into invaders.
