Визначення та Значення "couverture chocolate"

What is "couverture chocolate"?

Couverture chocolate is a type of high-quality chocolate that is known for its rich flavor and smooth texture. It is made from a high percentage of cocoa solids and cocoa butter, and is often used by professional chocolatiers and pastry chefs for its superior melting and tempering properties. Couverture chocolate is typically made with a cocoa content of 30% to 80%, and has a higher percentage of cocoa butter than other types of chocolate. This results in a chocolate that is more fluid and easier to work with, making it ideal for use in confections such as truffles, chocolate bars, and chocolate-covered fruits. Couverture chocolate is often made with high-quality ingredients and is known for its complex flavor profile and long finish.
