What is Couverture Chocolate?

Hi!
Today we are going to talk chocolate!
We’ll begin with a very special kind- couverture chocolate. If you are not a pastry chef or a chocolatier, chances are you didn’t hear of couverture chocolate before. 

Couverture chocolate is creamier, firmer (snaps when it’s broken) and has more shine than regular and commercial chocolate because it contains much more cocoa butter (32%-39%). Couverture chocolate is a very high quality chocolate and is manufactured from the best cocoa beans.

So what is couverture chocolate being used for?
Because of its qualities, couverture chocolate is excellent for tempering, molding chocolate, dipping, coating (fruits and pralines) and glazing all kinds of excellent deserts and chocolate pralines.
If you have thoughts about tempering your chocolate or if you want to become more professional in your chocolate making – this is the right chocolate to look for.
Because it is usually used by chocolatiers and pastry chefs, you should look for wholesale chocolate suppliers, when seeking to buy couverture chocolate.
