couvertures chocolate

Couverture chocolate is a high-quality chocolate with a higher cocoa butter content, typically between 31% and 39%. This makes it ideal for professional baking and confectionery because it melts smoothly and creates a glossy, firm finish when tempered. Its rich flavor and velvety texture enhance chocolates, truffles, and coatings. Unlike regular chocolate, couverture requires tempering—carefully heating and cooling—to achieve the desired sheen and snap. Due to its quality and melting properties, it’s preferred by chocolatiers for detailed work and elegant presentations.
