THE MAYATA MANUFACTURE :
EXCEPTIONAL COCOA ROASTING
OUR 3 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES :
A selection of cocoa beans from the best origins.
To make its fine chocolates, MAYATA selects cocoa beans from the best terroirs and plantations in Central America, Africa and Asia.
Only Criollos and Trinitarios of pure origin are retained and no blending is carried out in order to preserve the aromatic profiles and intrinsic technical qualities linked to each origin..
MAYATA favors cocoa beans fermented using processes that guarantee perfect balance, because “the fermentation of the beans is the precursor to the aromas,” François Deremiens likes to emphasize.

A gentle roasting to respect the aromas
Once they arrive at the MAYATA factory, the beans are roasted at low temperatures to preserve and enhance the subtlety of their aromatic profile. The characteristics of each batch of beans (origin, variety, size, moisture content, aromas, etc.) are analyzed to define and adjust the roasting parameters for an optimal aromatic result.
MAYATA's expertise allows for a rich and subtle taste experience thanks to slow roasting which allows the aromas to express themselves without any bitterness developing.
After crushing the beans and obtaining the cocoa nibs, the process is passed through a first mill. This produces the cocoa liquor, or pure mass, appreciated by many chefs looking for high-quality raw materials.

Gentle conching and unique recipes
Next comes the decisive step in the creation of chocolate: conching the cocoa mass, which allows its aromatic balance to be perfected, its acidity and humidity level to be corrected, while improving its qualities of homogeneity, fluidity and viscosity.
MAYATA makes the difference with a gentle conching which gives the opportunity for fine and subtle aromas to develop sustainably while retaining their original character.
Other ingredients such as cane or beet sugar, natural vanilla, pure cocoa butter and sunflower lecithin are added according to the chocolate recipes.
Our MAYATA chocolates contain only essential ingredients to remain as “raw” as possible.
