How To Conch-er The Cocoa Bean

David Okamoto joins me to discuss chocolate production, the growing of the cocoa pods and the life cycle of the trees and a new chocolate in the market, Thai chocolate.

We cover many of the challenges bakers of all stripes face when handling chocolate, from how to prevent bloom, and what is it?, to tempering and what do the pros call real chocolate?
