Seneca Klassen replied to Jeffry Lukito's discussion Post-harvest methods and guidelines."Do your best to find Arthur Knapp's Cacao Fermentation. I know I've mentioned it elsewhere, but although it's out of print and old, it remains one of the very best resources on the subject.

Jeffry Lukito replied to ChocoFiles's discussion Cocoa butter and cocoa solids""So why do think there's generally higher fat content in higher percentage bars? By adding extra cocoa butter the makers are decreasing their profit margin. It doesn't seem like it's for taste because IMO extra cocoa…"
