Making chocolate from scratch in Belize

Lanai Chocolate farm on the Hummingbird highway in Belize gives a great insight into traditional Mayan way of making chocolate. They make the chocolate using the ancient Mayan way, which includes the fermentation of the cocoa beans in banana leaves, subsequently dried in the sun and roasted over a fire, followed by grounding the beans on a stone pestle with all of the cocoa butter, natural vitamins, and minerals intact!
