This episode Dylan does an overview of the cost of cacao. We look at different types of cacao ranging from the commodity price of $2.26 a kilo, to $10 a kilo and Hawaiian cacao at over $20 a kilo. Why are there such big price differences? What is commodity cacao? He answers these questions and more, going into depth on what Manoa Chocolate has learned over the years. #CraftChocolate #BeantoBar #Cacao #ChocolateMaker

Amazing amount of effort. I've started making chocolate just for fun. On batch three now. Have more samples coming. Air fryer works great for roasting 1 kg if Beans. Shelling with my french rolling pin and a bag. Winnowing is the hardest part so far. At least now I know I made a good choice going into this hobby. I suspect the big companies just look for the cheapest stuff they can get regardless of quality. They probably aren't using toasted turbinado sugar like I am either. For milk chocolate I'm using dried cream. I'm currently using a Tanzanian cacoa butter that smells and tastes wonderful. Have bean samples coming from the philippines now.

As a Cacao addict, I found your channel yesterday and have been engorged ever since. I don’t eat sugar so 99-100% cacao/ cacao nibs are my thing. Really appreciate your integrity and honesty talking about your own business ventures and unique experience bringing cacao from bean to bar. I’m from Ireland so I’m not sure exactly how I would source your Hawaii cacao and chocolate in a cost effective way, but anyway I absolutely value your craft and video production 👍

Hey Dylan, thanks for the info. You mentioned that you don't buy cocoa butter because it's not economical. If you hot-press your own cocoa butter you can control the quality better and have cocoa powder to sell or utilize in cookies, cakes, etc. Also your supply chain is better as well as you don't have to depend on shipments (yes of cacao of course). Any thoughts?

what makes the hawaiian cacao so expensive, is it the labour costs or does the quality warrant it?

How about transportation cost?Farmers in Dominican republic sell beans about $1 the kilo. If someone sell the beans to you, shipment, transportation and taxes kick in and the price goes up more than $2 at least.

It's going to be very different tax wise and labor wise, being from india all we could do is generalize the costs and percentages of being in business and it's not a stiff playbook, everyone is going to be a a little different. Look up business plans on google or network with someone you know with a business and ask for advice and what they did before going into business

"What price paradise..." Is a saying we used to use back in the early 90's on the Big Island to describe that it is Hawaii, it is paradise, it costs more because it's Hawaii and it's Eden. And well it's an Island and the most isolated piece of land on the earth. Try firing up google earth and look at where it is located.

@manlymcstud8588 3 жыл бұрын

it probably varies from island to island, but hawaii is one of the most expensive states to live in with a commeasurant labour cost. considering the islands are so far away from, well, anywhere, shipping has to be very high, too, so perhaps the high cost applies to everyone and there are no local discounts? is their cacao *that* much better? couldn't say, but probably really not so much better when the typical person could taste the difference. so, real world costs coupled with marketing would, imo, make it so expensive. then again, i think godiva is just overpriced -- maybe not junk chocolate, but nowhere near worth the price.
