“Cocoa Processing Company is the only processor of single origin cocoa bean in Ghana. Our vision and mission are to ensure process quality and healthy products. Looking at the way our cocoa bean in Ghana goes through the processes, over the five day fermentation, a seven day sun dry, it is implicit that it gives it an organic form. The fermentation process is what adds on to make it and that is the same with wine, etc. When you get into the five days of fermentation, you are building up the flavonoids on a 15 molecule system. That means it helps you to stand the test of time. Then, moving it on to the sun dry gives every quality which maintained the flavonoids and that is what gets you into the polyphenols. In that case, it goes to cement the purpose and qualities and values of what you get in consuming cocoa or chocolate. That is what makes us stand out since anyone would want to buy the butter to blend with the rest. Even some of the local processors blend with what they get from Ecuador, Indonesia, etc”, says Nana Agyenim Boateng.
