Making chocolate may look simple. After all, you only need a few ingredients: cacao beans, sugar, and milk. Yet mixing them correctly to achieve a smooth, velvety texture took centuries to achieve.

But, most importantly, they invented the conching machine, the most important machine in making chocolate. We visited Favarger in Geneva, Switzerland, for a tour of its chocolate factory.
