The Bribri tribe makes their chocolate in a way free of preservatives and unpleasant chemicals. To start the process they dry and roast the cocoa beans. After this step they crush them beans with a large stone, and then shake the platter in a specific way as to shake of the crushed husks. Next the crushed beans are ground into a pulp using a hand crank. After all this work the chocolate is still very bitter, so to counteract that bitterness they mix in condensed milk. The resulting chocolate is natural and delicious (especially when one dips a banana into the chocolate.)
