Hey Andrea, One of the reasons the beans could be sour is if they were not ripe enough when picked originally, or if they were not dried properly after the fermentation of the beans. There are other possibilities but those two would be the most common. Regarding making milk chocolate, you can use milk powder. Adding moisture causes the chocolate to seize unfortunately. If you're wanting to make more chocolate in future but want to make it smooth, you can invest in a "melanger" (wet grinder). This normally uses granite wheels to grind the cocoa and sugar down enough to get a silky smooth mouth feel, you can technically do it by hand with a mortar and pestle but that would take a lot more physical effort, a lot more time and result in a lot less chocolate. A simple dark milk chocolate recipe you could use if you did buy a melanger (makes approximately 1.3kg): 450g cocoa beans (or 680g cocoa nibs) 225g cocoa butter 225g milk powder 450g granulated sugar Adding the cocoa butter gives a better mouth feel and helps while making the chocolate to give a bit of extra lubrication for the sugar, cocoa and milk powder to be ground down, if there isn't enough extra cocoa butter it can be powdery and feel a little dry. I love the information you provide, thanks for your videos 😊

Yeah doing chocolate right is one of the hardest things , even for trained chefs. The room temperature, the constant moisture control, the tempering process etc etc there are so many factors. I used to make my own chocolate at home years back , buying cacao liquor and butter and experimenting with ratios of c.butter and milk powder . Made a few nice soft caramel chocolates too but in the end its too much of a pain to get spot on and takes time. Plus you need a lot of kitchen space to do these projects and the right gear.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Thanks for all this advices 👍🏼🍫 and explanation . And thanks for the recipe 🤩

[@Adnancorner]

Andrea, I am pretty happy with the knowledge you share on your channel. I cannot tell you how much valuable information is what you share. As an Indian that admire and love Italian foods, and Mediterranean recipes in general 😋especially cheeses and cured meats, you cant get genuine than the actual handsome Italian man 🤪share the recipes.😄👏🌹

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Thanks ☺️ my dear friend 🤗

[@jonsantiago7549]

Naturally, cacao has acetic acid and that is the reason why it tasted sour... Crafted chocolate is done in 3 days through slow stone grinding and after that would be subjected to conching. After conching, the sour taste would be removed...

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Ok 👍🏼 thanks 🍫

[@BatYAH2015]

I suck the fruit of my cacao beans, wash them and sundry them for 1 - 2 weeks.. After i peel them and grind them in a coffee mill. They never taste sour. I make chocolate milk or put the powder in fresh fruit juice. But ive not tried to make chocolate yet. Maybe i will try the "au bain Marie"way with the next harvest. Greetings from Costa Rica ❤

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Spectacular 🤩🍫🤪 keep us updated

[@manuscriptsdontburn]

I am not an expert in chocolate but cocoa beans have naturally a high level of acidity, the less sugar in chocolate the easier it is to notice the sour aftertaste.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Yes 👍🏼 it is true

[@russellgibbon8621]

Well done! Thank you. This seems much simpler than other KZbin chocoalte recipes. I look forward to your Sicilian chocolate video.

Welcome 🍫

In the Netherlands 5 december we have a tradition of "sinterklaas". Wenn you behave well, you will get the first letter of your name in chocolate. There was a woman in town who made chocolate letters by a secret recipe. You had to pre order all chocoate letters in september, because everybody wanted her chocolate. They were spectacular. A pity that I don't have her recipe.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

😬👍🏼🍫 you should try 😉 maybe you will make better and be the new woman of the town

Thanks for the invitation 👍🏼 maybe one day in the future 🙂

[@chewconnie]

My thoughts are 1) the unripened beans and 2) overly fermented 😊

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Yes 👍🏼 it is possible 😬

[@patriciovarela8794]

Great video I have a question. I want to make two batches of chocolate. One now the other one in about a month. Can I roast all the beans now and save it for later? It is possible? Thanks

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Yes 👍🏼 but save it vacuum conditioner

[@weedwacker1716]

Making chocolate has a lot of mysterious bullspit associated with it. I suspect that most of it is tied to chocolate manufactures wanting to be that way for their own advantage. It is true that it took a lot effort for humanity to work out the whole process, and it does involve some slightly arcane knowledge. Andrea, however, cuts through the fog of doubt and makes this thing accessible to everyone.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Yes 👍🏼 with better tools you can have better results, this is the homemade or old fashioned method 😉

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

You need to make chocolate cream with cocoa butter 🧈

[@_J.F_]

Very nice, and seemingly fairly easy to make. I make homemade marzipan and gianduja for Christmas treats every year, so maybe I should try making the chocolate myself too.

[@yavuzayhan2245]

may i use stevia instead of sugar ? thanks Andrea

[@yin333]

I know this question was directed at Andrea but yes you can. As long as it's dry and not in one of the syrup forms. Just keep in mind not to eat too much sweetener in one sitting or it could give you diarrhea 😊

[@yavuzayhan2245]

@@yin333 ooo now i see when i was drank liqueur with maden stevia. I just ran the bathroom 😁

[@ozkilla7353]

does not work for me mine just stays like powder with my blender

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Keep blending, have you started from cocoa beans 🫘 or from powder?

[@ozkilla7353]

started with the beans from 1 pod i fermented them and roast them now i blend them and they just stay powder. no matter how many times i blend it doesn't blend together the powder sticks to the sides of the blender's container. all i have is sugar and the blended beans @@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

@ozkilla7353 have you followed the proportions between the quantity of cocoa beans and sugar?

[@olliety]

The chocolate seized because of the water in the milk. Use whole milk powder or skimmed milk powder and clarified butter!

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Thanks for the advice 👍🏼 I will try next time 🤩

[@Alexis-iq7lz]

Or coconut milk powder, that works too. :)

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

@Alexis-iq7lz thanks 👍🏼 I did not know about this option.

[@martinmorrison2415]

Maybe the condensed milk you added is not enough and must be hotter to blend.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Better powder milk

[@ONLYGOODleftistisaDEADleftist]

FYI: If you are using raw beans, they are cacao beans, NOT cocoa beans. They are ONLY cocoa beans after they have been roasted. Also, if you use a coffee bean grinder rather than a blender, you will have better results when grinding your beans. A food processor will give better results than a blender, as well. 😁

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Ok 👍🏼 thanks ☺️👍🏼😉🍫
