Lindt & Sprüngli opens plant extension in Olten, Switzerland - Seite 2

From the cocoa bean to cocoa mass 
In Olten, the cocoa beans are delivered by rail and stored in special silos until they undergo further processing. First, the beans are cleaned while still in their shells and then broken open. Next, the cocoa nibs inside are roasted using a proprietary process that perfectly coordinates temperature and roasting time. The nibs are then crushed in mills, where pressure and friction create the viscous cocoa mass. With its characteristic smell and taste, this cocoa mass is the starting product for further processing into chocolate at one of Lindt & Sprüngli’s production sites.
