The beans then go into sacks. They go on boats. They go at this point in history basically to Europe because that was the only place that was making chocolate. They then get sorted, sterilized, debacterialized. I suspect not a lot of this was happening in the old days, but it is what happens now. They get roasted. You remove the shell, which is a process called winnowing. So now you have nibs.
