The one question everyone asks us:
- How were you able to temper your chocolate and what was the chemistry behind it?
Our chocolatiers temper our chocolate by heating up a double boiler that heats up to 150 degrees fahrenheit, and we place our chocolate on the double boiler and we stir it until it melts. The chemistry behind it though, is that when the chocolate melts, there are different types of crystals that form depending on the temperature you put on the chocolate. Each crystal contributes to the way the chocolate will be made as the chocolatiers temper it, all because of their kinetic and potential energy changing as temperature increases. This is how our chocolate got tempered.
