All About Inspiration Passion 3 kg (Tips & Tricks)

Does Inspiration Passion contain white chocolate? No. This is a common misconception. Unlike a flavored couverture, Inspiration Passion does not contain milk powder. It is a pure "Fruit-Cocoa Butter-Sugar" blend. This guarantees a fruit taste not "polluted" by milky notes and a much livelier texture in the mouth.

What is the secret to successfully tempering this 3 kg format? Inspiration Passion is worked like a high-quality white chocolate. The ideal temperature curve is: melt at 40/45°C, crystallize at 26/27°C, and raise for working at 28/29°C. Respecting these steps is the key to easy unmolding and mirror shine.

How should I store my 3 kg of beans once the bag is opened? Cocoa butter easily absorbs surrounding odors. Carefully reseal the original bag or transfer the beans to an airtight container. Store them in a dry place, away from light, ideally between 16°C and 18°C. Absolutely avoid the refrigerator, as humidity would alter the product's texture.
