"When meeting colleague-professionals all over the world, I am often asked the question: "which dark chocolate couvertures are the perfect choice for me?" Let me try to guide you in selecting the most suitable ones. Or better: let me try to point the direction, since selecting the appropriate chocolate is a question of taste in the first place." (Jean-Pierre Wybauw - Callebaut Technical Advisor)

Callebaut’s chocolates are not only the result of a great tradition, but also the fruit of nature’s best. In each of our chocolates you can taste the finest grades of cocoa beans, a select choice of ingredients and 100% pure cocoa butter. Today, Callebaut takes its chocolates even a step beyond…

Tempering chocolate is a necessary step in creating the ideal chocolate products.
* It makes it easier to un-mould chocolate, pralines… (with maximum shrinkage).
* It gives your chocolate a hard, shiny surface with a uniform colour (no lines, no grey colour). In short: chocolate that looks tasty and snaps when you break it.
* It creates excellent chocolate with a very fine crystallisation structure instead of a granular texture.
However, tempering chocolate by the traditional method is a rather complicated process.
