Köln, Germany - 3rd June 2012
Today was a great day because Mum took us to Cologne to visit the Chocolate Museum. And inside the museum is a chocolate factory. This is a box made of crown caps. It comes out of east Africa. With this tool you can find out how heavy the bag with the cacao beans is In this show case we found a lot of different things, which were made out of cacao butter Then we went into the section with the chocolate factory. This machine is a cocoa butter press out of the year 1899. This is a round conche out of the year 1920. It was used to ennoble the chocolate. The luke-warm chocolate paste is passed into the preheated moulds. The moulds then pass over a vibrating table so that the chocolate paste is evently distributed and any air bubbles can escape. After this the machine wraps the chocolate into paper. This chocolate was given as a gift for every visitor at the entrance. This is a giant chocolate fountain. It looks so yummy and I hope I can taste a little bit of this chocolate. Oh great, dad was so nice and shared his chocolate with me Oh look I found some old Santa clause Doesn’t these chocolate cats look cool? The best thing in the factory beside the chocolate fountain is that you could design your own chocolate. You could choose which kind of chocolate you want and up to 4 ingredients which came into it. We choose white chocolate with cranberries, almond and crisps. Here we could see how the self-designed chocolate was made. After that we needed a little break I didn’t know that Years ago you couldn’t buy chocolate in supermarkets. You had to buy it in drugstores or get it out of cool looking machines I couldn’t imagine how long it will take to eat this huge chocolate ball Here we could see how the packaging of some chocolate products changed through the years On our way back to the factory we saw some old commercials Great we got our self-made chocolate. It looks really yummy. It was a wonderful day. We had so much fun and we learned a lot about the history of chocolate and how it was made.
