Hand-shelled beans
Cocoa shells are removed by hand before chocolate-making.
This business makes chocolate. Ridgewood Chocolate produces hand-shelled, bean-to-bar chocolate in Ridgewood, Queens. Each cocoa bean is shelled by hand, and the nibs are kept whole before they are made into chocolate. The beans are ground for six hours, a process the maker says helps retain aromas and lets the chocolate melt in layers. Its focus is process-pure chocolate, defined by removing the cocoa shell rather than by origin or cocoa percentage. The chocolate is presented as a small, slow-melting portion suited to ending a meal. Ridgewood Chocolate also shares details about its production methods and the sensory experience of tasting its bars.
