    Hey Andrea,
    One of the reasons the beans could be sour is if they were not ripe enough when picked originally, or if they were not dried properly after the fermentation of the beans. There are other possibilities but those two would be the most common.
    Regarding making milk chocolate, you can use milk powder.
    Adding moisture causes the chocolate to seize unfortunately.
    If you're wanting to make more chocolate in future but want to make it smooth, you can invest in a "melanger" (wet grinder).
    This normally uses granite wheels to grind the cocoa and sugar down enough to get a silky smooth mouth feel, you can technically do it by hand with a mortar and pestle but that would take a lot more physical effort, a lot more time and result in a lot less chocolate.
    A simple dark milk chocolate recipe you could use if you did buy a melanger (makes approximately 1.3kg):
    450g cocoa beans (or 680g cocoa nibs)
    225g cocoa butter
    225g milk powder
    450g granulated sugar
    Adding the cocoa butter gives a better mouth feel and helps while making the chocolate to give a bit of extra lubrication for the sugar, cocoa and milk powder to be ground down, if there isn't enough extra cocoa butter it can be powdery and feel a little dry.
    I love the information you provide, thanks for your videos 😊

      Yeah doing chocolate right is one of the hardest things , even for trained chefs. The room temperature, the constant moisture control, the tempering process etc etc there are so many factors. I used to make my own chocolate at home years back , buying cacao liquor and butter and experimenting with ratios of c.butter and milk powder . Made a few nice soft caramel chocolates too but in the end its too much of a pain to get spot on and takes time. Plus you need a lot of kitchen space to do these projects and the right gear.

    Andrea, I am pretty happy with the knowledge you share on your channel. I cannot tell you how much valuable information is what you share. As an Indian that admire and love Italian foods, and Mediterranean recipes in general 😋especially cheeses and cured meats, you cant get genuine than the actual handsome Italian man 🤪share the recipes.😄👏🌹

    Naturally, cacao has acetic acid and that is the reason why it tasted sour... Crafted chocolate is done in 3 days through slow stone grinding and after that would be subjected to conching. After conching, the sour taste would be removed...

    I am not an expert in chocolate but cocoa beans have naturally a high level of acidity, the less sugar in chocolate the easier it is to notice the sour aftertaste.

    In the Netherlands 5 december we have a tradition of "sinterklaas". Wenn you behave well, you will get the first letter of your name in chocolate. There was a woman in town who made chocolate letters by a secret recipe. You had to pre order all chocoate letters in september, because everybody wanted her chocolate. They were spectacular. A pity that I don't have her recipe.

    I have a question.
    I want to make two batches of chocolate.
    One now the other one in about a month.
    Can I roast all the beans now and save it for later?
    It is possible?

      I know this question was directed at Andrea but yes you can.
      As long as it's dry and not in one of the syrup forms.
      Just keep in mind not to eat too much sweetener in one sitting or it could give you diarrhea 😊

    Making chocolate has a lot of mysterious bullspit associated with it. I suspect that most of it is tied to chocolate manufactures wanting to be that way for their own advantage. It is true that it took a lot effort for humanity to work out the whole process, and it does involve some slightly arcane knowledge. Andrea, however, cuts through the fog of doubt and makes this thing accessible to everyone.

    Very nice, and seemingly fairly easy to make. I make homemade marzipan and gianduja for Christmas treats every year, so maybe I should try making the chocolate myself too.

    The chocolate seized because of the water in the milk. Use whole milk powder or skimmed milk powder and clarified butter!

    Maybe the condensed milk you added is not enough and must be hotter to blend.
