Chocolate • Chocolate is produced from cocoa beans picked from cacao trees. We usually think of chocolate as a sweet, used in cookies, candies, cakes, and other desserts. However, chocolate is very versatile and can be used in many main dishes.
Chocolate • Chocolate Liquor • Cocoa beans are crushed into a paste that is completely unsweetened. • Cocoa Butter • Pressed chocolate liquor. • Cocoa Powder • Ground cocoa solids • Nibs • The cocoa beans are cracked into smaller pieces.
Chocolate • Bloom • Sometimes a white coating appears on the surface of the chocolate. • The bloom indicates that some of the cocoa butter has melted and then recrystallized on the surface. • This has no effect on the quality.
Chocolate • Tempering • Melting the chocolate by heating gently and gradually. • Chocolate contains two distinct types of fat that melt at different temperatures to ensure that both fats will melt smoothly, harden evenly, and have a good shine. • Chocolate is chopped into coarse pieces and placed in a stainless steel bowl over water simmering of a very low heat. • IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NO WATER GETS INTO THE CHOCOLATE!
