Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
This dark chocolate melted during shipping. Can I still use it?
Yes. A change in shape caused by heat does not affect the chocolate's taste or quality. Let it return to room temperature before remelting or tempering it.
How do I temper this 54.5% dark chocolate?
For dark chocolate, the callets are usually melted to around 45°C, cooled to 28 to 29°C, then brought back up to a working temperature of around 31 to 32°C before molding or coating.
What proportion of cream should I use for a ganache with these callets?
For a classic ganache with chocolate containing 54.5% cocoa, a typical starting point is equal parts heavy cream and chocolate, adjusted to the desired texture (firmer for a filling, softer for a glaze).
