Random chocolate video
Added 2025-03-13 02:43:45 +0000 UTCI was hoping to find some Ferrero factory footage on YouTube, but all I could find were fake videos showing stock chocolate factory footage clips, including some random machines that were clearly trying to clone the originals. The videos also had very fake commentary pretending to explain the process.

Clive, I'm willing to bet that some of the videos you've identified as copycats are really Ferrero. Several machines in those videos have Polish labels on them (with video flipped horizontally, to avoid content ID scans), and Ferrero has a Polish manufacturing plant in Belsk Duży.

2025-03-14 17:37:28 +0000 UTCThe Modern Marvels series on Discover used to be good for this sort of thing. They had a good piece on manufacturing Jelly Bellies.

2025-03-13 18:10:50 +0000 UTCThe wafer goes through an enrober. It transfers from a PTFE belt onto a metal chainmail belt and goes through a shallow bath with the chocolate curtain. The chocolate is constantly heated and recirculated. They then hit an air blower that controls the chocolate covering and transfer back to another patterned PTFE belt. They then pass under the sprinkling unit and a chocolate pattern can be added. They are then cooled under control and either stored in a temperature controlled room or straight to the packing area.

2025-03-13 16:08:51 +0000 UTCDo they have a discharge capacitor? What is the power factor? Such an unusual Big Clive video. Love it! Drawing is awesome. Sweet!

I once wrote the factory, DanCake, asking how they cut it in half. They were happy to answer: They use two opposing circular saws. One for the cake, from below, and one for the glaze, from above 🙂

2025-03-13 13:03:48 +0000 UTCThere are a few of those. Fascinating hustle, that I didn't know existed until these comments 😃 Steal video from ads, youtubers and tv shows, and re-package with a dubious explanation of how stuff may have been made.

2025-03-13 13:01:47 +0000 UTCNutella is another Ferrero product 🙂
Rasmus
2025-03-13 12:59:07 +0000 UTCI can't tell if it's a parody. They've mixed video from ads with videos of other products, and home chefs trying to replicate the product. The part about wafers is a factory making stroop-waffles, and then somebody breaks up waffles by hand, to cover a football-sized chocolate dessert.

2025-03-13 11:36:07 +0000 UTCClever fellows, but don’t forget the palm oil which no doubt means they keep a population of orangutang as “prisoner” to manufacture them. Their fingers can flip over the chocolates in no time. That’s the true secrets of Ferrero Rocher and why you never ever see videos from inside the factory. Italian capitalist have no shame.

2025-03-13 08:18:09 +0000 UTCYou can buy Ferrero Rocher in Australia, The company is Italian. They have a dotcom website, a Facebook page and a YouTube channel. Their YouTube has 4 videos of which 3 are adverts : the fourth has instructions on how to make a Golden Bouquet. If Walnut Whips are still made I would think the process would be similar perhaps even the same.

2025-03-13 07:47:07 +0000 UTCFerrero is common in the U.S. and Japan. Haven't seen the noir round though.

2025-03-13 03:31:09 +0000 UTCI saw that one. It's just stock footage and a repetitive commentary.
