Çikolata, or chocolate, is a sweet treat made from cacao beans. The process begins with harvesting the beans, which are fermented, dried, roasted, and ground to create chocolate liquor. This liquor can be further processed to produce different types of chocolate, such as dark, milk, and white chocolate, each varying in cocoa content and sweetness. Rich in flavor, çikolata is enjoyed worldwide in various forms, including bars, candies, and desserts. It is often used in baking and cooking, adding depth to recipes. Additionally, çikolata contains compounds that may have health benefits, such as antioxidants, when consumed in moderation.
