Episode 13: Hidden Costs Of Crafting Chocolate
Просмотров 763 года назад
Most people who grew up eating chocolate will remember it as a cheap candy, something you bought from the store for less than a dollar. So to most people, the idea of a $10 chocolate bar- or a $5 or $15 chocolate bar- is ludicrous. What could possibly cost so much? But the real question you should be asking is why was it so cheap in the first place? After all, cacao is grown in tropical regio...

Emily Paek was one of the first craft chocolate makers in Korea, and quite frankly, it’s been a long road to journey down. Over the last few years I’ve had the honor of watching Emily’s chocolate brand, Public Chocolatory, grow into its space and educate the Korean public as to the merits of craft chocolate. So how does one bring fine chocolate to a populace still getting used to the idea of de...

South Korea’s rapid globalization is countered by a fierce sense of cultural identity, and fine chocolate is one place this standoff is playing out. Before the recent explosion of Korean culture onto the global scene, South Korea was often lumped in with neighboring China and Japan. But despite some similarities, the Korean chocolate scene is a force all its own. In this episode, we speak to 4 ...

Touring Vietnam Chocolate: Marou, Belvie, and More
Hey thank you so much for showing the process how to make this! Will definitely try it in the next few days.🥰 if it tastes as good as it looks, it could become my new favorite!
Very helpful for someone who found a fountain second hand without a saved description 🙏🙏🙏
I bought a chocolate fountain from bootfair but the Auger was missing any ideas where I can purchase a replacement Auger from.? It's the same fitting as the Auger in this video. Please help if you can
No, I'm sorry I'm not sure - maybe check the Nostalgia website?
Does it taste different (perhaps even better) making it with real chocolate instead of cocoa powder?
It totally does! But also, you have a lot more control over both the quality and the flavor of your cocoa - I like nuttier chocolates OR fruitier chocolates when making cocoa, depending on my mood, but it's also better for making a flight of hot chocolates, making more smooth drinks, and more easily incorporating the sugar (since it's already in the chocolate). :D
By the way I am happy you are "back"! 🙂
Awww thank you!! <3
That looks sooo good! 😍 Never heard from caramellized white chocolate before, thanks for educating me haha! 🥰 need to try this!!
My pleasure! It's SUCH a decadant addition to one's repertoire! ha
So helpful thanks for such a great video!!!❤🙌💪👏
Glad it was helpful! ❤
Great video. Have you ever used nestle toll House chocolate chips?
Thank you! I don't use their brand of chocolate, but you probably could - it would likely need a bit more oil to make up for the higher sugar content.
Thank You
my pleasure!
❤😎👍👋
❤
Can you use milk or cream And oil at the same time? Or just one or the other?
You could, but you only need half as much oil as cream, so you'll need to do some math for it. :)
@@DameCacao ok thankyou. I’ve opted for the liquid chocolate for my chocolate fountain machine, until I master the melting method.
Where to store the left over chocolate and can it be again used for chocolate fountain next day
Yes, it should be perfectly fine to reuse the next day, as long as there are no crumbs or other food particles in it that would make it hard to go through the machine. Check out my guide to storing chocolate for more specific tips, depending on where you're able to store it: damecacao.com/how-to-store-chocolate/
Hi there, just wanted to thank you for putting up these chocolate content. I discovered your website in 2021 when I was in Amsterdam. I saw your list of chocolate and went to try a list of 20 on that trip and I loved most of it. Hoping to try out more places listed on your website Cheers
Thank you for the kind words!! I'm glad you've found the guides helpful; it's not as easy now, but I still try to get a few up each year. :)
Awesome video! Thank you❤
My pleasure! Glad you liked it.
está durisimo ese chocolate
Gracias!
Can you add butter instead of oil
You could use ghee instead of oil, but to use butter you'd need to use somewhere between the amount of heavy cream and the amount of oil called-for (depending on the size of your fountain).
I enjoyed your video. I noticed that this unit is wobbly. I would have liked to have heard the machine run after the chocolate was in it.
Yeah, I definitely needed to stabilize it. But yeah, it was a bit loud, but since it was outside & I was asking my friends questions while I filmed, I decided to do a voiceover. I'll keep that in mind for next time, though; that's a good point.
Very helpful.... thank you for the video
It's my pleasure! I'm glad you found it helpful. :)
Hi! Is this 500ml capacity or 1000ml capacity?
This is about 1000ml, though in the US it's generally branded as the 32oz. machine. :)
@@DameCacao thank you! Yeah, im from UK 😊
Plz let me .where to melt.chocolate
In the post there are 3 ways you can melt chocolate: microwave, stove top, or instant pot. :)
Are these shops still going today? I've seen many close down lately due to the pandemic and all 😢
Cacao Bean and Piaf are! I am actually in Korea right now, and I'm updating the guide with new shops when I get back, but at the moment I have deleted all the shops that closed from the guide. :/
I think it tastes like white chocolate but not as cloyingly sweet as normal white chocolate. I first tried it in my edible cannabis and I'm going to stick with dark chocolate
Yeah, the bitter + creamy/sweet flavors of cannabis in ruby sounds like it could jolt the system! I prefer dark for my edibles, as well. :)
it's only millenial if you complain about 4 dollar kitkats, after you bought them on a trip from USA to Japan :D Consider how rare these cocoa beans are. FYI, ruby is the pure pink chocolate cut down with white chocolate, otherwise it's too bitter. Enjoy !!
FYI literally nothing you said is true.
Chocolate chocolate everywhere ruclips.net/video/qHBmZKmHB-Q/видео.html
Enjoyed listening to his but wish there was video.
Thanks! :)
Philippines is on the rise now producing Cacao. We have a Cacao Farm here in Lebak, Mindanao
We are talking vietnam chocolate..
Very cool!
nice😍 watch my videos 😍😍😍😍
Probably not, but thanks for the comment, I guess!
Wow. Good job!
Thank you!!
Thank you for making this video I love it and really satisfy
Thank you so much! I hope you found it helpful, too. :)
@@DameCacao please give me a like
Oh I'm interested
Thanks!
Nice video. Did you get to try Marou choclate from different region of Vietnam and which one is your favourite?
Thank you! Yeah, I've tried Marou's single origin collection many times over the years, and I can't remember the name of the origin, but for the last few years the 74% has been my favorite. They're all good, but I definitely favor more caramelized and nutty notes!
Nice vidio
Thank you!
I'd just buy a pound of callets for around 20, since other than the Kit-Kats there are only pure chocolate bars that cost around $10 per bar
At 2:30 I see hundreds of ants crawling around the pods. Is this normal and how do you get them off the end product if they seem to be crawling everywhere?
Yes, having lots of ants of cocoa trees is a good thing. Often they keep other harmful pests away from the pods, though sometimes the larger ants will take over a tree and build a nest in it; on an organic farm, there's not much you can do about that. But on most trees you won't find enough ants to impede the plucking of the pods. They're not swarming every tree like that at all times.
I was reading other videos comments and they've said high quality ruby chocolate has a fruity flavor. Now really think Nestle is going to be selling ruby chocolate and not make money. This is probably very low percent with white chocolate in with artificial flavor so Nestle can make money.
A friend sent me a picture of the patent the other day, and apparently ruby chocolate only has ~4% cacao mass in it, with almost 30% cocoa butter, making it a borderline milk chocolate (with white chocolate tendencies). After almost 2 years, I've come to doubt that there's any difference in the ruby chocolate being sent to these companies (due to patent/trademark issues), but there's always a possibility that Nestle is doing their own house blend. The other rubies I've tried taste very similar, though.
Great video! Been looking for a video that describe how cocoa based liquor tasted like, and you are doing it perfectly.
Thanks, Bimo! I'm actually back in Vietnam right now, and had more cacao liquor from a different brand just yesterday. What a coincidence!
@@DameCacao Whoaa! i was wondering why do you choose Vietnam over Philippine to visit for your chocolate trip? I am based in Indonesia myself. Looking forward for your upcoming videos!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
what are the two cacao wines name?
One is just a bottle my friend brewed up on his farm, and the other is from RUQU VANG. You can read more here: damecacao.com/cacao-pulp-where-to-buy-cacao-liquor/

Very useful for my upcoming trip, thank you.
I'm so glad it was helpful! Please let me know if you have any other chocolate questions! ^^
Hello Max! =) Hey Max, greetings from Germany! :-) Your channel is completely underrated! Your video quality is absolutely equal to the 'million clicks youtube videos'. Therefore just go on with your work, because you need just ONE big recommendation or citation - and I promise, you couldn`t believe the amount of demand for your channel! Max, You have such a big potential! Daniel
Daniel, Thank you so much for your kind words! It takes lots of time and planning to put these videos together, so I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave a comment-- it means much more than you could guess. Hopefully as I put together & put up more videos, other people will also be able to explore these interesting places with me! Have a wonderful week! #cacaolove from Korea, MAx
thank you for posting
Thank you for watchung & subscribing! I really appreciate the support. <3
Wow you are living the chocolate dream! :-) Waiting for the 2nd part now! But how does the gold leaf on the chocolate taste like? Is there a metallic taste or is it competely neutral?
Thank you! As of now, Part 2 will come out this summer; I'm still filming some clips on my weekends off. The gold leaf tastes like nothing at all, surprisingly, since they use such a tiny & thin piece of it. It's really for decoration only. :)
Thanks for your honest review! :-) I live in Germany and since the beginning of May we have Ruby Kit Kats in our local supermarket (sold in a 4-Bars Pack) for about $ 2,30 per Pack (€1,99). I've heard about this new & "groundbreaking" chocolate before (but did'nt know how expansive it was until just a few days before that) and wanted to test one immediately. I was a little disenchanted with the taste. Nothing special, almost "boring" - I decided on NOT buying it again, because there is far better chocolate on the market that is also much more worth the money! I think the only special thing is the good marketing as the "4th natural chocolate" and the "first new type in 80 years". ;-) Go on with your professional (and tasty) work! Best regards from Germany! :-)
Wow! Yes, I've updated the article since learning that they were being sold in Europe, but it's truly amazing how expensive they were to start! I suppose it speaks to the quality, however, that they're gotten so cheap so quickly. What did you think of them, if you've had the chance to try them?
I thought it would be much tastier, therefore I would have paid the same someday! ;-)
i liked the review! you should review more interesting chocolates, i like the way you explain things
Thank you! I actually write weekly reviews on my website (damecacao.com), but I'm trying to get more RUclips content up next week on Korea, and next month on Vietnam. Lots of interesting chocolates in both places!
Dame Cacao I'll definitely check
