Chocolate comes from the harvested seeds of the cacao tree, originally native to Mexico, Central and South America. These very bitter seeds are fermented, dried, roasted, and shelled to reveal the chocolate nib.
How to Temper ChocolateTempering chocolate is a process that aligns the crystals in the chocolate. The tempering process allows chocolate melted for coating or dipping to become firm again as it cools while retaining its luster and firmness. Tempering helps achieve a glossy sheen, a crisp texture, and that melt-in-your-mouth smoothness. Last Updated (Friday, 18 June 2010 12:36)
