- Instructions for Preparation
- Deposit the desired amount of dark chocolate in a melting tank.
- Be sure the temperature be between 45 °C (113 °F) and under 55 °C (131 °F).
- Make a crystallization curve and place in a mold the chocolate at a temperature of 29.5 to 31.5 °C (85.1 to 88.7 °F).
- Uses
- Intended Use : In food and as a raw material in the confectionery and pastry industries.
- Non-Intended Use : Consumption after expiration date, or under inappropriate storage conditions. These can alter the sensory, physicochemical and microbiological properties.
