25 things that smell alone like potato chips, cooked meat, peaches, raw beef fat, cooked cabbage, human sweat, earth, cucumber, honey and more combine to make that great chocolate smell.

-Most of the flavors appear after fermenting under banana leaves followed by roasting. Before that the bean is bitter.

-Designer chocolate is next, now that we know what to combine.   The cocoa bean has close to 600 fragrances to choose from.
