    I see what you mean, but your belief that making chocolate from cocoa is „extremely trivial“ is simply wrong. For example, conching was invented in Europe and without it, chocolate would taste and feel totally different. The process is so important and difficult to get right, it often makes the biggest difference in chocolate quality to this day.

      That is a mixer. Not really a rocket science. (I can prove my point: chocolate is produced in every country that actually wanted that. “Non-trivial” technologies are less widespread)
