Utah State University is working on producing some rare chocolate that is not made anywhere else in the US. It comes from an albino cacao bean, which is not so easy to get here in Utah.
The Aggie Chocolate Factory specializes in making 70% dark chocolate. The albino chocolate will be that same higher concentration but will bring a much different taste, and it's all being done in the name of research.
"My life is all around chocolate," Monteiro said. "I'm in contact with cacao farmers, and I know a lot from the post-harvest of cacao beans." "In the world of the chocolate the white beans is very impressive for the very mild notes, versus sensitive and caramel notes," Monteiro said. "It's something very unique."
BreAnna Burchill is among the employees here who are getting to discover that process of working with their 70% cocoa process to produce a whole new flavor.
