Frequently Asked Questions
How do I temper these dark couverture buttons?
Melt two-thirds of the buttons over a double boiler to about 45C, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add the remaining third and stir to about 27C. Return briefly to heat and bring to about 30C until smooth and shiny.
Can I use this chocolate without tempering?
You can melt and use it for ganache and some fillings without tempering, but moulded pieces and coatings need tempering for a firm snap and glossy finish.
